i agree with your sentiment here, particularly that fear-of-present-communications-being-re/misinterpreted-in-the-future is a very real limiting factor when sharing thoughts in public forums. this fear has become more prevalent in past years, and imo it does indeed make it hard to scale 'deep community' via public, group-based internet networks/forums
i'd also add, though, that after 150-250 people (Dunbar's Number), we reach a psychological limit for feeling deeply connected with people, and that number should be considered carefully when designing and growing communities and/or platforms that support socializing. what works for a group of 100 doesn't work for a group of 1000
i'd like to clarify in my original cast, i was referring to social capital between individuals, rather than in the context of a group. nonetheless social capital does expand into the context of groups, and i'll eventually need to work that into my thinking as well. thanks!
