Maybe it's not the growth of a community which really causes decline in quality but where the growth comes from. Folks that come because they saw a discussion link in a git message or startup conversation are likely to have very different interactions than folks that come from search engine or social media share.if 100k users showed up tomorrow from the former category would quality here really go down? I agree it probably doesn't make sense to try to block growth sources though. Just considering the perspective "it's not effective to try to play whack a mole anyways" already seems enough evidence of that alone. All this reminds me though I've been using the site too much lately and my interaction quality has gone down. Time for another short break :). Anyways
