I can only speak for myself, but I do think when I was trying so hard to interact in a gazillion communities and find people to be my "platform," my writing did suffer, because I didn't have as much time to write. However, I also found some great writer friends who helped me grow as a writer, and who were awesome beta-readers/critique partners for my first book. So, like much in life, there's positive and negative in writer communities.
