"Joining a new digital community can be an exhilarating and empowering
experience. This has been observed on numerous occasions when people join new
platforms such as Nostr, BlueSky, Farcaster, Post.news, Tribel, and many
others, as well as older social media platforms such as blogs, Usenet,
LiveJournal, Xanga, AOL, Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Initially, these spaces create an idealistic environment where individuals are
eager to connect, share, and participate in a virtual gathering that resembles
a festival. However, it is worth examining what it is about these new social
spaces that generates such a euphoric atmosphere, and whether it is feasible to
sustain this utopian sentiment as communities expand and develop."
