They’re such a crybaby is it worth even engaging any further?

• 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

I would tell anecdotes and stories that wandered off into the woods & an old friend said I had ‘tangentism’

Nope, they don’t want to watch but will certainly jeer for it
