> but that we do a terrible job introducing people into our culture. If you're a community of 100 people, and suddenly you get an influx of 10000 people, then there is no "introducing people to our culture" anymore. Then you got a "introducing you to the newcomers' culture". They won't listen to your in jokes, or even care about understanding them (they might prefer to just be offended for not getting them). They won't listen to the carefully thought-through stuff already in the community, but rather shove some hype in. It is lower-effort to keep doing what you did, to keep following some hype that got you where you are, so unless you are basically forced to consider something else, you'll instead force the oldies in the community you are flooding to follow your suit instead - by sheer mass.
