I now realize, I didn't add a conclusion. My little site is 'local' - I don't have to deal with the world turning up. I don't need admins, I don't need a TOS, I don't need arbitration systems etc etc. There's a good community of people who just get along. Rough edges were knocked off a long time ago. We're a little niche ignored by the world - and we like it that way. Issues with 'toxic' influx come when you're trying to drive people in/draw attention.

If you don't mind the question, what's the niche?

  The original site was - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popbitch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popbitch (scurrilous media gossip from within the machine) Mine? - Mainly what people have eaten for lunch... ..but if I had to come up with a proper answer it's that it's connected a pretty disparate bunch of people who once had a random common interest, over what happened to them in the next decade or so. A shared diary?
