Places Like the Recurse Center?

Question

I love what the Recurse Center stands for, and I'm wondering if anyone else has found similar communities / places with similar values? Online or in-person.

For those who haven't heard of the Recurse Center like myself: https://www.recurse.com/
Seems like a really interesting community. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'd also be curious to hear about peoples experiences with the Recurse Center itself, if anyone has any.
What were the benefits you experienced, what did it do well, what could be improved, etc.

South Park Commons is kind of like RC, but with more of a startup focus.
Ran something Recurse-y back in the day (recesslabs.com), but put it in the freezer after a few cohorts.
There was a german version for awhile (Hackership), but they shut down too.
RC is very cool, but to my knowledge there are not a ton of current variants!
Thinking of a new project, Zach? :P

When I was at RC, a name that came up often was the School for Poetic Computation. I don't know too much about it, but have generally heard good things.
