>Even if the hivemind disappears, at least, it was fun while it lasted.
And the amazing thing is that these hiveminds still pop up every so often, mostly unnoticed. I stumbled across an imageboard in 2018 that was stunningly active, with esoteric injokes and all, mostly from an exodus from another imageboard. 4chan itself was an exodus from SA and some migration from World2ch, so I imagine without Jake Brahms and /b/day it too would've faded into obscurity just like that 2018 imageboard I mentioned now has. It used to have at least 30 users on at any given time, now there's just one at any given time - that is, just me, when I'm looking at it. These things still exist, these moments are still special, but most of the time you'll never find them - and in some ways I suppose that's a good thing. Just like the heat death of the universe, as the internet expands these tight knit communities become harder to find.
>It´s what happens when one takes the hobby too seriously.
Well, my point is mainly that if you are that person who takes it too seriously, realize you're in a minority in many respects, and to accept people who are not like you and not as dedicated as you because otherwise you will have no community.
>I see no benefit in copying /mlp/ because other sties like 9chan and poni.fun have attempted to do that yet they lasted two months or something like that.
The attempts to catch lightning in a bottle are misguided. I doubt many recall Mewch anymore, the attempt to replicate early 4chan - without understanding the context and conditions of the original's formation and early history. It was an accident provoked by lowtax's requiring payment for accounts, it was a reaction to conditions forced upon a community. You can't deliberately create these conditions - unless you wanted to make a popularity-first site and then drive a large portion of users away and see what happened.
>That´s why they rely on their hobbies just to escape from reality.
I don't think escaping from reality is necessarily a bad thing, and nowadays someone who never escapes from reality is in the minority and rather odd. I can neither reccomend or advise against escaping from reality to the furthest extreme you can, all I can say is once you're here it's less painful the quicker you can realize just how few people go as far as you do.
>don´t waste your time at finding the ideal community, just find your loyal partners that accompany you for the ride or a place that you can rely on and post something that you like to share out there. Internet communities tend to fall under the same patterns eventually to a lesser or greater degree because human beings act like that, the psychology doesn´t change except for a different context that leads to those interactions.
Indeed - I wandered for the perfect community for years, until I was just a drifter between them. I think you'll enjoy yourself more if you stick with a community and don't leave at the first minor imperfection - you won't see as many weird and interesting little communities, but you'll have a sort of home.
>That shows how out of the topic itself, people have different interests and those fans are brought together by just one common thing.
Indeed, that main common thing - all the users will be very different in their personal lives, since if the interest relied on some aspect of personal life - well, that naturally drives away those with barely a personal life at all.

>I feel that good austism requires each commuity to have some type of moral frabric.
Certainly, there should be standards, but those shouldn't go to either extreme otherwise your two choices of community will end up being facebook with no fabric or just no community at all since they're all flawed. Mainly I am saying things I wish I could have read half a decade ago. But maybe someone on this path will read it, and gain something from it.
