@kissane It’s an interesting piece. I might guess the larger harm has come form scolding; people generally don’t like their hangouts to be like that (maybe a very *niche* crowd does that sort of thing as a kink). The hostility to poc has been the most notable example.
Search on tags is wanting, it’s finicky.
@kissane a “persistent” and discoverable way to organize and describe tags would prolly help. that or a more prominent role should be given to groups. in a way the “reddit” like parts of the fed fill this kind of hole due to their structure.
