Two stable states for cozy communities: overwhelming and dead.
- Two stable states for cozy communities: overwhelming and dead.
- If it's thriving, it's likely overwhelming.
- When you come back and are behind, you don't want to mark the scrollback as read–what if later you have extra time and can read through it?
- The longer you're away, the more overwhelming it is when you come back.
- This tends to push you away.
- If it's not that active, it likely gets to the point where basically no one is talking.
- The threshold of overwhelmingness will differ for each individual based on when they last caught up and how valuable they find the average message in the chat.
