This is unironically why I use this site instead of reddit. Your attention and engagement is valuable, and I'd rather contribute mine to something worthwhile and not soulless. Engagement and community is what attracts people to social media. If you build it, they will come.
Also, this site I can read the comments without my blood pressure spiking. Reading :reddit-logo: comments feels like youtube comments at this point

I propose restricting the_dunk_tank by requiring at least two non-dunk-tank posts before posting there. I come here to get away from lib shit.
Also, in 1983 80% of Americans got their news from 50 companies while in 2012, 90% of them got their news from 6 companies. Is this like a broader pattern? Has anybody looked into this?
So what's that, sitter, rabbit, crazebook, and what's the 4th one? Rubetube? Sinistergram? Dick-docking? Cryface? WhyPunny? FineNags? HimHer?
What if the 4th one was Hexbear all along?
smh, you could have at least had a hint of ironic nudge and wink in the title😔
Wooh! Being website number six means we have five sources for screenshots!
the things that made forums bad was like the impossibility of moderation but that doesn't even justify the situation today because so are these big sites they are even more impossible to moderate even
There wasn't a impossibility of moderation, they just didn't care. Just look at this place, 10 people do all the moderation, and voilá, at most some random dipshit spams some garbage and it's bannrd in less than five minutes.
Fuck, look at any BIG subreddit, ten randos at best keep those places with thousands of active users well astroturfed and clean from offtopics, then the community always help to keep it that way. You might not like it, but the moderation in reddit works
fair enough, i always thought the sub forum into sub forum dynamic would be kinda of a mess to moderate because it obfuscates a lot but yeah that makes a lot of sense
It can cause the pop up of cancerous places say "r/1488" or shit like that, but if there was at least one (1) dipshit in charge of reviewing subreddits from time to time and culling them at will, the shitstains would disband and form their own dead reddit alternatives after the second or third try. But of course they don't do it cuz they care about the clicks, and hogs love clicking.
moderation isn't hard
you just have to actually do the work instead of taking the position because you like power and then whining about how hard it is forever
I have a 30 min screentime restriction on the big six (tik tok, fb, instagram, reddit, twitter, and messenger) and as soon as it hits the max for my day, my phone is literally a brick. There's this website, a couple of discords I frequent, and that's about it. I spend the rest of the time reading books or magazines.
I really miss online forums for every weird and niche topic I could think of.
This is why big brain :centrist: use state owned (CIA) doubleudoubleudoubleudothexbeardotnet
