This is... an odd angle. For example, yes, queer people form communities because they can speak of and process their similar trauma together (and not elsewhere). It's a process of connection, as well.
Yes, of course. The full dynamics are more than I can fit into a tweet. The genuine connections that do form are the channels by which the subtle trauma reinforcing stuff happens. And... at any given point, it may not be safe to look at this, for any given person.
Some of these communities are aware of some of these dynamics; e.g. tumblr's use of "crabs in a bucket." Here's a pretty solid description: https://queerly-tony.tumblr.com/post/183062767388/make-sure-the-community-you-are-part-of-is-lifting …
Sure, I figured you knew - but I was a little alarmed to see the problem carved up into "this is horrible" without acknowledging why it's happening or what people get out of it.

Kinda into this! I've thought for awhile that the whole "go to therapy" meme, while probably useful, doesn't scale enough (also I want communities skilled enough to heal themselves). Therapists-on-social-media might scale.
