  • As the world gets cacophonous, people retreat to cozy communities.
    • It requires moderation, otherwise it retreats to the mean and falls over.
    • You need active engagement to make it work and not have it just be overwhelming and cacophonous.
    • The more successful your community, the more that people who just want to troll on it come into it.
    • Another category is people who love the community too much, and become overbearing and insufferable.
      • They police it, and need to be in every conversation.
      • For example, the people who are focused on a particular lens and try to make everything about it, and don't have a platform elsewhere, but loving that community makes them want to share it there.
