    • signal to noise ratio

    It feels a bit like how Reddit was prior to the digg exodus when overnight pun & lyric threads, ascii art and terminally shit one word responses appeared.

    There is the awareness to the benefit of building slowly will bring, rather than having a an uncontrolled mass exodus, that risks little to no integration to the current curated culture.

    • Transparency

    You can see who the mods are and a mod log and currently, people are giving time to grow the communities rather than welding power.

    • Quality content

    It’s not the same stories getting posted by karma farmers or by bots. It’s more curated.

    • Interactions

    They’re more conversational than adversarial


  • And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems.

    You’re just projecting here.

    I merely pointed out that everything is politics and yet you respond with yet more bleating.

    and their pet issues

    And you respond further by shoving your head further up your own arse.

    Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.

    Are you trying to make yourself out as the victim here?

    What a fucking crybaby!



  • When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing?

    When I see comments like this, it makes 2 things plainly obvious:

    1. The commentor is naive and doesn’t understand that fundamentally ‘politics’ is the power dynamic in every relationship, be that between people, groups or with structures or things such as food.

    It is in everything and connects everything. It defines your relationship and how you interact with the world and it’s relationship to, and interaction with you.

    1. The commentor has enough privilege that they don’t have to worry about politics/power structures on a daily basis.

    Some people can’t see the wood for the trees
