RE: https://furry.engineer/@soatok/117373235807327419 Extremely insightful, highly recommended blog post about fundamental mechanisms driving community dissolution when a somewhat marginal subculture (like furrydom) faces explosive growth and spill-over into commercial mainstream culture. Great analysis, offering a lot of context and general applicability (including comparison with Eternal September). Also includes suggestions about how to address these root causes; these suggestions are... fine, really, reasonable, reasonably scaled and all; historically however, I'm afraid that the best case scenario is that the proposed measures will facilitate the spin-off of a cadet subculture that is sufficiently niche to build a viable community.... ....which then will either whither away or or be co-opted by commercial interests, same as it ever was, same as it ever was...
