     @jon @codeyarns Seriously, I think that’s a problem with any social network that grows beyond a “contextual community threshold.” When you can’t presume that its members share the same background, motives and norms.

     @jon @codeyarns It happened on Usenet, mailing lists, IRC and blogs before social media. I think it’s mainly about the size of the connected community…of course, some platforms suffer the same malaise at higher intensity.

     @nitin @codeyarns Perhaps. But I find it especially strong here. Maybe we're all too jaundiced by what happened in the past on other networks?
