This is the kind of content we need, glorious

I'm here because I saw a comment mentioning it and I wondered what it was. Then I saw there were threads with hundreds of responses and thought, "hey, this isn't actually dead, maybe it could be fun"

Seems like a bit of a broad brush to paint with my friend. Plenty of places are building roundabouts

The audience

Seems like there's enough content to actually get into the habit of contributing and exploring, but discoverability feels harder. At the same time, so much social media these days is a mainline, drip feed, brain dead thing. Just interacting with YouTube/Instagram/Reddit/Twitter makes my eyes glaze over.

I think just the right amount of friction is probably a really good thing.

Jannies have never been good at relating to people, and reddit admins are like the jannies' janny. Ban-happiness is inevitable.

Forums are an interesting model for real life human social structures. If you operate your social structural group in such a way that the only way of meting out punishment is exclusion, eventually you can create an outgroup that becomes a threatening competitor.

When your containment board is another website, you lose.

You were unequivocally the best reddit app, just wanna say

Tolerance of evil is AuthLeft

If I read Lemmy by the river, does that mean I'm Lemming? Hmm

Social networks are more akin in purpose to governments than they are to businesses. Profit motive is inherently destructive over time.

If persistence and asking over and over again has worked in other situations, and tantrums don't have a significant negative reinforcement, this sort of behavior seems natural. She probably just has a hard-headed personality. She needs to learn the negatives of throwing tantrums, how it makes you feel and how it will make other people feel, and why it should be important to her that she doesn't make people feel bad.

Pyramid schemes don't work as well when money isn't free. I think that's what it comes down to.
