It’s the urge to constantly iterate and expand. Which makes little sense to focus on, building more homes and buildings, if there’s no people for them.
These things should be put on hold until there’s an audience for them. Visiting any comm shows just how desolate they are. We need people on this site first.
there was a ton of diversity in what we saw in the front page because people were more conscious of it, but the diversity’s died away and people have reverted back to dumping everything on !main.
Maybe it’s that the people here prefer what was the original subreddit’s style. A simple format with a variety of left-aligned discussions, about politics, media, food, theory, etc.
There seems to be this drive to over complicate the system here like there is with the development team on Reddit. Interestingly, the juxtaposed replacement site for a banned subreddit (before whatever’s happened to their domain now) T_D made exactly that, a simple, one-board replacement and exploded in activity for it.
And has barely grown lately. I can’t understand the choice to try and design a replacement site for the Discord users of a banned single subreddit to be like the entirety of Reddit.
The only affect it will have is making the site seem even less active, which doesn’t exactly attract new users.
This is what made reddit a bed of tribalist in-groups. And they did it when they had enough users to actually support it.
Just get rid of the comms, centralize the feed into the one subreddit this site was meant to replace.
And please slow down the feed again, it’s painfully fast to the point that most people miss the top posts because they ‘expire’ in a few hours from the front page. It makes having discussions disparate across multiple redundant threads because there is no main thread that hangs around, even if it’s gotten hundreds of votes and hundreds of comments.
Is this only if you drink bottled water or tap? I use a Britta filter so does that catch microplastic?
And banning for that is justified if it is the clear purpose of an account, but this user is known and posts regularly. They have an active discussion currently on the front page completely unrelated to this.
Can any criticism can be branded ‘concern trolling’ and banned for with no questions asked?
