Going straight to Goodwin’s Law, this really does remind me of behavior from soldiers during WWII. I don’t know how anyone can do this to other human beings.
You’re absolutely right. Often times it also didn’t feel like a conversation; rather, it was just a bunch of one liners. I’m also suspicious that there are a lot of bots commenting as well. It just didn’t feel organic. In any case, I have wondered about your point regarding the current size of the community and how it lends itself to a more intimate experience. I’m hoping that with growth we can keep that going. Do you think it’s possible?
