I think this is what Tao is saying that large organizations are filling the niche that was previously served by smaller organizations. eg. Discord, Slack, and other online platforms like Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, Fortnite, Roblox, etc., are being used instead of smaller forums and local communities.


But are these reflective of the communities themselves? Or the tools used to organize community? If slack disappeared tomorrow wouldn’t many just move to another tool?
