Suggestion: Create a ~ for the discussion of communities
I am new to Tildes so please forgive me if this has been discussed in the past but it seems to me ~tildes has a fair amount of people interested in the psychological processes and dynamics of communities as it related to feature ideas for Tildes.
Perhaps it would be interesting to have a place to discuss these sort of effects in online communities (social media sites, forums, multiplayer games, social platforms like Seconds Life, IRC,...) and offline communities in a broader context, not just limited to its immediate effects on Tildes itself.
At this point, Tildes is too small and inactive to support a lot of different groups. It needs only a few, general, groups right now, rather than many, specific, groups.
In the meantime, if you want to discuss social media specifically, you can do so in ~tech. Or, if you want to discuss psychology, you can do so in ~science. Or... you can talk about anything in ~talk!
