I’m going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

    I wonder how much of an audience these lost communities could find here. Some context, I absolutely love notjustbikes and didn’t even realize there was an active subreddit, although that ship has sailed. I mean obviously there’s a least two of us interested in his/strongtowns kind of urbanism discussion so maybe it’s just a matter of starting a community and seeing what happens.

      He used to respond to some comments on that sub, and that part of the magic is gone, even if a community was created here. Besides, there’s already one for fuck cars and it doesn’t have a lot of people subscribed yet, with that small of a userbase it’s just a matter of fragmentation.

        Yeah that’s a good point about fragmentation. It will be interesting to see if similar dynamics carry over here like the biggest subs supplemented by the more niche or specific focus ones.
