During the beta I thought groups would be a great addition to DKos. I am learning that there are too damn many groups. I have not yet seen an ass wipe group, but I bet one exists. The trouble is the competition the ass wipe group gets from the toilet paper group, the bidet group, the crapper group, the out house group, . . . Too many groups address similar issues. Which ones to I look at? Which ones do I want to join?
The over population of groups is terrible for DailyKos. Instead of enabling community, over population of groups divides community. Just like I believe that non-group diaries should be limited to one a day, I also believe group creation should be limited to once a month. I also believe groups should be tagged and before a group is allowed to be formed, that groups with related tags should be brought to the author's attention.
Update. Now I learn I cannot publish a diary to the group "Cranky Users" because I am not cranky enough. So I can Post comments to diaries there, but not diaries. Right now I feel like Fuck Groups.
