| I namely just divide people on the level of shitposting they do - either way, it's the fact that people openly express political, social, and economic opinion and bark down others that don't share the opinion. Plus that and people are naturally going to form smaller groups within the population. It's the norm to stick with people that share your interests and avoid those who dont. Just dont be a dumbass low-quality shitposter in CD and mix it with some creativity and social actvitiy - you'll find some people to connect with soon enough. |

| It's hard to form a close community in the internet. The internet lets us to talk to more people but we're less involved in their lives. You'll need a serious issue to connect the people, like how suicide communities are fairly close. People here come to talk about anime, but it's not a too important part of their life. We're really people coming together that may find friends here. |

| Ehhhh, I don't truly understand what you mean, I don't like googling vocabs like every words you use. However, I find MAL as a whole community normal like any other community out there. |
| There are two types of people on MAL: Trolls and...fuck it, I'm too lazy. |
 |
| Don't look at me, I just shitpost here. I didn't ask for any community. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| in many of MAL clubs you can do more chatting and getting to know people. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| Yeah join clubs if you want a smaller community. |
    |
| What? I always thought all the users on MAL were like a big family. We are all deeply united, you just can't see it easily. You'd have to squint a little harder. |

That is really inspiring, can I be an himouto? |

That is really inspiring, can I be an himouto? I mean, for an online community to become an actual community, people need to invest time and a sense of commitment into it. Message boards, especially one dealing with a hobby don't inspire this. We're more of a network than a community. |

| If you hang out in the forum long enough you find some people who tend to agree with you and are friendly toward you in various topics. Also, I recommend you to find some clubs here that you are interested in. The club comment chats can bring users together. Try to find clubs with more members as the ones with fewer users usually are zombie clubs. |

They lead me to fruitful, challenging conversations. |

| So how is the Anime community any different than Movies, Gaming, Beauty/Fashion, Sports communities? Are they all united and we are divided? Can you explain your point more? |
| I just came to scoff at the ridiculous threads. Never thought to join a club but I thought that's generally where people on MAL go to join a group of like minded people. |
