community culture
Group's collective identity
Community culture is the shared values, practices, traditions, and social norms that develop within a particular group—whether a neighborhood, online forum, workplace, or any collective united by common interest or location.
It encompasses how members interact, what they celebrate, what behaviors they encourage or discourage, and the unwritten rules that newcomers must learn: Every Discord server has its own community culture.
The term often appears in discussions of preserving local character or fostering belonging: The new development threatened the community culture that had taken decades to build.
