People brought the reddit circlejerk right over.2014 or 2015 Elon = God who finally brings EV to mass market2023 Elon = REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEthere's no nuance or actual discussion only outrage bait now. if you comment anything other than the current popular opinion you get buried and reported so why even bother?
They have to control what you read and it's always the same argument. 'Dogwhistle', 'Groomer', 'Nazi', 'Pedo', etc...Funny thing is you never see this IRL and it's only the terminally online who write like this. IRL discussions are much more mellow and you can talk with people about stuff, even controversial topics and you can always drop it and be good.
Every comment in this thread you could've found on reddit and copy pasted it here. Same quality of discourse.
This exact thread down to the comments could've been on reddit and no one would've noticed. It's the same rehashed arguments and discussion ad nauseum. If you don't like some instance/magazine/whatever just block it yourself and be done with it.
That's always how it works out tho. If you work for anyone you never do it as an unspoken agreement as the rules will change later on. No matter the assurances.
Perfect. 'Downvote' me too so you can really show it to me how WRONG I am.
If you want to see what happens if this culture permeates here just look at Mastodon. Negative growth, barely any interaction and it's the same few people shouting into the void. I checked some mutuals who proudly announced they'd move to Mastodon and most haven't posted anything this year. Still posting regularly on Twitter tho :clownface:A lot of users here are the same, 'move' here to show they're protesting and then stop posting in a few weeks or months and back to reddit.Some clown mod made over 50 magazines/subs on kbin. Hasnt posted 1 comment since a little over a week. Bio reads: 'Proud owner of xxx communities.' lol
If there is no unique culture/point to this platform and it's just reddit 2.0 then people will simply go back to reddit.
tbh the culture here is reddit in its purest form right now. once they start sanitizing everything here again I'm out. One opinion allowed ONLY and if you dont align you're a NAZI and FAR RIGHT TROLL
Apparently awkward was responsible for a lot of the John Oliver spam in the subs he modded. Might be why he's finally gone now. He even contacted John Oliver on Twitter to cry about his suspension and ask for help lol See pic related
Powermod of over 1000 subs. Permanently online. Bans users for no reason and posts inflammatory comments and pins them in threads. One example - Do you remember the r/Art drama where the artist got her art removed by a mod who said it was AI art (it was not) and berated the artist for her style? Yep, that's awkwardtheturtle.Basically the worst of the WORST of reddit mods with no life outside of reddit.
The loudest mods keep posting even amongst themselves when they closed 'their' subs. Check their post history. It's performative.There's a reason reddit mods are reviled everywhere on the internet. Let them cry and piss and shit themselves. It's free entertainment
Prob the same people who remade the subs here as magazines, squatting on the name but havent made a single comment since 4 or 5 days ago.
Not to be diminutive to your point, but reddit discussion weren't high quality either and I have a feeling they won't be here too. They might be friendlier on here, written more 'eloquently' to give them a sheen of informedness, but unless people start from similar knowledge bases on topics, then meaningful discussion will never materialize.
I predict any technical/political topic on here will be a dumpsterfire of uninformedness just like it was on reddit. You can already see reddit-tier responses to popular topics. In the end the same few talking points will be repeated over and over again, right or wrong (mostly wrong or incomplete).
It's why I personally stay away from these completely and stick to sharing art/game stuff. It's far more sane.
