I always find the term "community" to be a bit of a stretch here. I don't think I've ever seen anybody say "the telephone community" or "the e-mail community" (not to mention the socio-racial variations).
- kadoban 4y agoNew tech tends to be adopted by something that could quite reasonably be called a community at first. As it's adopted by more and more people it becomes less so. So when email was new, talking about the email community probably would have made some sense, and I'd assume similar for telephones way back when.
