    Same I find the engagement is raising. The threads here are more sincere. Sure it’s not as active when it comes to some things but that’s fine IMHO. Building an online community right takes time.

      I also feel that people here are much nicer, and willing to engage with content. Even tiny communities usually make pretty great posts.

        I greatly appreciate the lack of reddit meta getting repeated adnauseum. 69 and 420 references really stop being funny when repeated in so many threads.

        People say this everywhere, but I’m not seeing it. Say something that disagrees with whatever the main opinion is and you’ll be downvoted and called an idiot.

          That’s just how forums work. It’s a collection of people who want to discuss topic A. If you say “I don’t like topic A” it seems out of place.

        Yes, absolutely.

        And you know what?

        I love it, just the feeling of actually engaging of people. Something I didn’t have on Reddit. I think it really opens my eyes on how much our attention gets commercialised.
