Empathy with people who struggled to create online community only to have it suddenly torn apart.

Empathy with people who have limited time &/or tech experience having to suddenly adapt & locate new ways to stay connected.

Empathy with people doing the tech work for little communities wanting to provide safe landing places but suddenly finding themselves overloaded with new users & increasingly complex moderation tasks.
