There's a comfortable consensus forming around this topic. I'd like to poke some holes in it.

Before you dismiss this: The assumption everyone seems to be making is that more participation is inherently good. But is it? More voices means more noise. More engagement means more shallow takes. There's a version of this community that's smaller, quieter, and dramatically better — and we're actively building away from it.

I fully expect to be disagreed with. That's the point. Let's have the argument.

This unlocked a thought I didn't know I had. this is the kind of thing that sounds normal at 2 AM but deeply weird in daylight. I love it.
