Idk how to explain it and I imagine it’s been said plenty of times by now but it’s just, way easier to engage with posts here, usually on Reddit I’d just ignore the whole commenting aspect and just scroll through media.
I like this change, it reminds me of older social media platforms I used to use that were fairly small, player.me for instance.
Totally agree. Discussions are more engaging here, and posts are more relevant to their communities. You’ll hear some people try to explain that this is just due to the smaller user base, and it’ll quickly become less friendly as it gains more people… but I don’t think so. For one, the lack of an overall “score” for each user (like Reddit’s karma) means there is no value in creating re-posting bots that try to capture the maximum number of upvotes by copying older successful material. Less bots posting old content means more real people posting current ideas.
