Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I think like with any zero-cost thing, there going to be a long tail phenomenon where there are many many MANY low population/sales/user/usage items.

Be it music streaming, book sales, subreddits, communities, FB groups, blogs, flickr photos... basically where there's no (tangible) cost of inventory/hosting/storage/production.

The upside is that almost everyone can find a niche. Even if it's a small niche.

Mods should have some control and rationalize them.

This really depends on the goals of the platform. Do they want to spend the time deleting 2-person communities when it doesnt bother anyone (except maybe you)? What is the philosophy of the platform's owner?
