I'm onboard with @Tradeqwik, with only 800 of us it shouldn't be too hard to learn a lot of the names, but that banding together in groups, other than spontaneously, is not optimal behavior for the whole.
If you organize a group, rather than the group organically coming together in mutual support, we will end up with what the platform was intended to counteract.
The new boss needs to be very different than the old boss, if you were to ask me.
