  • It only works when it’s small because you’re usually reading all responses on a post anyway. It really didn’t matter what order I read all four responses.

    I would expect communities to grow over time if they can evolve in healthy ways. More diversity is usually good but then you’re digging for gold, the good comments, and the work digging was not only part of the fun but it made the find even better.

    I think the difference is those were all people talking for the audience. If you and I have a direct conversation and try to avoid our audience, we might realize what made those comment threads better. You watched a conversation between two people and not a performance to be observed.

    Then how do we keep these communities just the right size to make it work? To be fair, there are times I’m good with the easy dopamine hit and social media puts the pre-filtered pre voted treasure right there. No effort needed on my side.

    It’s like there’s glimpses of the old internet here and there.

    Yet the reader is already here.

    So, if I understood him correctly, you should upvote the parent comment.
