I very worried about this hivemind idea. We are already very unwelcoming to noobs. Once everyone scurries off into their hives, who will be looking at posts we get from from fresh minnows? No one. This is one on the things that killed tsu. One day we had people out in the lobby, then communities came and the place died in a week. The majority of my friends went to photo groups and my weight loss work stopped getting views.
tsu had millions of active members we have less than 10K. If we get 50 communities going, they will average 200 members. Do this is not enough upvotes to sustain them either. I would love to know your thoughts on this aspect of the idea.
