Communities are meant to be 150 people or less, where everyone knows everyone else.
- gbelote 14y agoI think the potential relationship between Dunbar's number and online communities is interesting - I had never thought about it that way before. But certainly online communities don't break down after a few hundred people. Why must everyone know everyone else for a community to remain high quality? Or closer to the original question, why do you think communities degrade after everyone doesn't know everyone else?
