I'm not sure what to do about this other than pounding F and moving on to the next frontier while cosmic horrors shamble around wearing the things I loved as skinsuits

It’s essentially a problem of a) establishing selection for communities and b) preventing cross-pollination; why are subreddits low quality? Etc. Word of mouth, perhaps — but also something the system has to discourage, no upvotes, difficult to see other groups

I think 'social importance' is true but how *anything* gets designated as such is a much more random process than is often appreciated. Internet-enabled flattening exposes normies to glare of thousands just like them, drives them into hidy-holes of Meaning.

Seen through this lens it's not at all surprising that most organic Meaning communities haven't developed good moats yet, and I for one am actually pretty optimistic about things getting better wrt this.
