Feels like a lot of online activity is migrating to private groups. Just me? And is it because groups are rising or public commons less fun?

Conceivably, the internet was formerly itself a moderately "private" group (or, permeably public, folks w/a high degree of shared interest)
Til recently you were online for a reason. I've met people in cafés, but never had to leave one because 3 billion people suddenly walked in.

You were here for professional reasons or because you had a high degree of curiosity. Now you're online because everything is, and you must.

What holds groups together better than shared goals? What breaks them apart? I propose that our reasons for gathering have diffused.

Cool kids do leave certain physical places when crowded. A nightclub has a life cycle much like an internet community.
