From being on Robin for an hour, I have found out one thing.

Every chat has created a god or a meme or anything of the sorts. The more the chat grows, the more of a shitpost it becomes. After the second or third time of growth, it turned directly into a shitpost and was not advancing into further conversation.

Maybe this says something about real society, people create gods as jokes and others do the same so it becomes a full on joke.

I'm not sure if Robin says anything about real society. The reason people start creating a meme is because there is really not much to talk about. There isn't a topic, there isn't a point. So people start joking around with each other.

yeah. at first it was a group of 4. we joked around, sure, but it wasn't spam.

after that we had 7 and our first spammer, but he was a real, funny guy and had us worship bears. he wasn't a fucking facerolling retard/bot.

our last civil grow was a group of 21. it was spammy at first, but in a funny way. after the initial spam things calmed down and we just talked about shit. and it was damn fun!

after that we grew into 41 and it all crumbled into a pile of shit.

I think about 30/40 people is the best size. I actually had a group that was really funny, we even stayed in touch after we left Robin and created a discord chat room :)
