Lots of communities that were active during bull market are completely dead now. 

Sounds obvious, but it’s a bit unfortunate how the bear market has decreased the amount of interactions among people. 

Or has the world shifted back to IRL?

I tend to agree with you. Seems most of the action has drifted to NYC, and somewhat SF again.

As someone who rode the top of community enthusiasm, the trend has reversed quite significantly. Locations matter again. All the tourists are gone.
