Online communities tend to have very low barriers to joining (as opposed to contributing), so we tend to hang out in more communities. Perhaps we lurk in most of them, but we might contribute some or a lot to a few. It’s hard to participate heavily in everything that interests us! To put it another way, it’s (probably) not the same 90% across all communities.

Usually when this happens it has some derogatory term like splinter, polarize, or fracture. Not always though.

Or at the least, we would be less fucked.” – Important post about participatory economics and specialization. Carries a bit of the Bruce Sterling/cyberpunk ethos eschewing well-roundedness for weird, sophisticated spikes of knowledge.
