Building Trust in Digital Spaces

In online spaces like forums or chat groups, a sense of safety and trust is crucial. Just as you'd want to feel safe at a friend's house, online community members seek the same comfort. Leaders who consistently show their values and communicate openly foster this sense of trust.
