idk about smallest XD I think there's a certain size of critical mass to have enough people on enough of the time to make a thriving community or subreddit or magazine. On Reddit I think it was probably around 10,000 nominal subscribers that a subreddit really felt alive for me! In the high-100,000s though it starts to feel impersonal instead of like a community.

I'm not good at patience q.q
I think a big and legitimate concern is that some communities which wish to grow and have room for growth will end up not growing because of unintentional (rather than intentional) splintering. Really wish there was some way around that
Greed crushes communities :/
What a mess! I can't tell if it's backtracking because of backlash or actual clarification.
It's amazing how shitheads tend to clump together!
"We have to reopen because if we don't the ones in charge will replace us with political extremists or people who 'don't care' about extremism!"
okay but do they realize that just makes leaving even more important?? Reddit's owners are showing their true face, so maybe pay attention to that??
"How dare the proles stop making me money! What am I (not) paying them for??"
I usually only lurked on the larger subs because of that problem
