So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).

    Sure, I just hope it plays out like that. I can easily imagine a situation where instances or communities get too big to fail. What’s the point in creating a splinter community where 10 or 100 users migrate to when all the content and discussion takes place in the original community.

      On reddit I had started boringdystopia despite there already being the bigger aboringdystopia because I disliked the moderation. I surprisingly saw decent growth in the sub as well.

      So just because there’s a bigger “original” out there, doesn’t mean you can’t do well and make a working community.
