  • I wonder why author (is it OP?) chose to share an unfinished blog post? First time I’m seeing a draft being shared. It also confuses me that the title makes it seem like it’s about the user but the article talks about venture capital funding, unsustainable computing, and financial feasibility? Most casual users doesn’t care about stuff like that, that stuff is the company’s problem, so why the accusatory title?





  • I can relate to that a lot. I usually also comment on niche subs with a help question. Not sure what it is about reddit that makes the common redditor act like a hostile person with a superiority complex. It’s very irritating, like they do the opposite of touching grass 24/7 and hate you for posting.

    Beehaw and Lemmy are much smaller so that’s also why the quality of the people here is just overall better. the moderation style in beehaw also helps. It also helps me feel like I can freely comment the way I want to.











  • The initial intent of reddit was to have downvotes be for off topic stuff, and yet most people use it as a silent “your opinion sucks” button. That stuff just adds to the hivemind feel of reddit. I wish there was a way to have an alternative system of weeding out misinformation or rude stuff without having to deal with something like downvotes. I suppose moderation could serve the purpose of weeding out the bad stuff instead, but then each community would need to be moderated properly.
