    You are changing what you said. No one said communities don’t have identity. You were talking about building your identity around a community.

    The Star Trek community here on Lemmy has an identity. Trekkies as a whole have an identity. I’m a Trekkie. I don’t build my identity around it. People seeing me walking around in public wouldn’t automatically say, “that guy is a fan of Star Trek.” Unless maybe I’m wearing this shirt, which I wear because I base my identity around things that make me laugh.
