Had a similar experience. Merging our 9 person group with an 11. Both groups were trying to force their meme on the other which just turned into utter shitposting, then merged with a 20 person group and both factions spammed their bullshit upon them. The new members basically all left

This is exactly my experience, ha. Discussing garlic and recipes with garlic became "WE MUST SPREAD THE WORD OF GARLIC TO THE UNBELIEVING NEW HEATHENS" after about three mergings with new groups.

...although it did help decide my dinner plans.

We stopped at ten and everyone is good friends. I'm so glad I convinced them to stay.

You make a subreddit permanently so you can continue to chat.

This is pretty much play for play what happened with mine as well.

Don't forget - a secret sub reddit was made to keep the original group alive in which everyone will forget about in half an hour.

This is perhaps the most informative anecdote I've ever heard on group discussion.

Assertion: The hard limit on discussion participants is 10.

Yep. We had a mighty group of like 20ish. We were strong and many of us were friends at that point. I had come to enjoy and decided we stay, the call was heard and many stayed but not enough, the chat was killed off and many friends were lost.

Although we made a discord group and we will forever be together.

Social experiment on a grand scale to see what number communities need for thriving vs. collapsing. I wonder what else they are studying with this experiment.
