This is something I'll have to think about for a bit, mostly because it rings so true.
I personally never felt like the Mastodon instance that I used was "my community" - it was always the bigger network.

Großartig.

Ah, Tumblr. Those were the days.

I completely agree with Kev here. Especially when it comes to this escalation:

And it gets even worse -- and I've seen this happen many times on the fedi -- when folk imply that as users of the product we're also a bad people, just for using the product.

I've been wondering the same thing and just like Ruben, I end up being in favor of archives.

Hm.

Finally

MetaFilter is such a weird website. I used to love it but that's quite a while in the past.

I feel this loss of community online every day.

Those were the days.

We like things not just because we’re exposed to them, but because, before exposure, we have opened our hearts to liking them.

Hm.
