This is always a desired notion of digital communities. But digital communities rely, like other cultures, on systems of reciprocity to function. Culture includes language, music and traditions...digitally, these tend to be very weak. They "might" evolve in a metaverse, but we cannot know. So far, they haven't in current iterations of community. But hey, after only 300 netnographic studies, what do I know? :-)
