In my previous blog post about Second Life/Linden Lab holding invitation-only meetings with Second Life bloggers and influencers, I mentioned that if there ever was a creators’ meeting, you should find out how to get invited. Well, the time has come. There will be a Zoom meeting with Second Life creators, along with Philip Rosedale (Philip Linden) and Brad Oberwager (Oberwolf Linden). Would you like an invitation?

This meeting is being granted to the members of the Creators Supporting Creators Discord server. This Discord server is invitation-only, but here’s how you can sign up: Creators Supporting Creators Application. Once you’re accepted into the server, you can sign up for the meeting using this link: Connecting CSC server members with Linden Lab (form). The deadline to sign up for the meeting is Friday, December 13, 2024. The meeting will be held on Zoom on Monday, December 16, 2024, at 8:30 AM SLT.

If you are a creator, you should sign up for the Discord server and attend the meeting, as your input is valuable. You do not want other residents to speak for you, nor do you want their ideas or interests to be implemented without your input.

I have read some recaps of the other Second Life Zoom meetings with bloggers, and I am concerned by many of the things I have read. I am unsure if the bloggers are reporting accurately, but it seems that if the mobile app does not succeed, Second Life’s future may be uncertain. This is alarming. I am reconsidering my spending on this platform if the state of Second Life is truly that dire. Additionally, someone mentioned that Shop & Hop “may not be the best way to support content creators,” hoping that Linden Lab might cancel this event or scale it back. I love Shop & Hop; it benefits not only creators but also residents. I am sure thousands of residents who visit this event four times a year enjoy it. I am not entirely certain what was said regarding this event, as I am reading it from a fellow blogger’s report, but I hope Linden Lab does not scale back or cancel it. It is the only initiative they have that supports ALL creators and is a fair event that does not charge them anything to participate.

If you are a creator who enjoys initiatives like Shop & Hop, you should definitely attend the meeting because some other creators are advocating for its cancellation in order to promote their own events.
