Week kickoff observation: NFT communities operate in pretty isolated bubbles. Started following several projects after receiving gifted NFTs, and honestly, most of these community members are completely new to my radar. The thing is, there's clearly no shortage of these niche communities out there—they're scattered everywhere. Each one has its own vibe, its own Discord, its own way of doing things. The fragmentation is real. You join one NFT ecosystem and it feels like you're entering a totally separate world from the next project over. Wonder when we'll see actual cross-community collaboration instead of everyone just existing in their own lanes.

NFT communities each do their own thing, and they can't even connect online. This is the real fragmentation.

NGL, this is the current state of Web3—everyone doing their own thing, nobody respects each other. Really, every project team is building their own little kingdom, and then they look down on each other. Cross-chain is a mess, and cross-community is even more ridiculous. It feels like a fragmented gaming world that can't be connected at all. Instead of dreaming about collaboration, it's better to focus on running your own community well. This observation still makes sense; Discord fragmentation is too serious. It's been obvious for a while, just waiting for someone to break the deadlock.

The NFT scene has long been tired of this look, each playing their own game and ignoring each other. --- Honestly, this sense of division is really intense; everyone is just having fun in their own little world. --- Waiting to see when there will be real collaborations... maybe it’s just a distant dream. --- More and more NFT projects are becoming increasingly isolated, which is a bit problematic. --- Each community feels like an island; entering it feels like stepping into another parallel universe. --- The fragmentation is too severe; no one really wants to pay attention to neighboring projects. --- Why does no one think about genuine cross-community collaborations? Everyone is just operating independently.

The phenomenon of each NFT project operating independently is really disheartening, with each project like an isolated island. This issue has long needed someone to call it out; everyone is just doing their own thing. What cooperation? Everyone is just focused on defending their own turf.

These NFT communities each do their own thing, nobody really wants to collaborate across borders.
