Oh, indeed—fragments or even whole (slightly altered) communities live on. Two of my prior identity-tied groups are still meeting and going strong, they’re just not producing original research or even super-deep discussions on their topics. I still have fond feelings toward them, but I don’t participate enough to consider them part of my identity.
This is primarily a reminder to myself that this is okay. I can enjoy LW for what it is rather than lamenting what it was.
