“Me? Do evil?

Yes.”

Yeah, I agree with this suspiciously named man. Whether it happens sooner or later, Reddit’s death is on the horizon, as it will keep making the wrong choices and so steadily lose those communities and content that built it in the first place.

“‘The Hangover Is Over; Smooth Sailing From Here!’ Declares Habitual Drinker, Popping Open Another Bottle In Celebration”.

Did Digg die in days?

138k active users to 554k total users is about 25%, which I would imagine is significantly higher than most social media.

Is someone marked an active user if they ever voted or posted a comment/post, or do they drop off if they haven’t done so in 14 days?

At a certain point you just have to keep doing what you’re doing and hope people join you. :/

There are so many scary topics today that “hey this is really important to get right” just doesn’t really hit bottom unless someone already cares about a particular issue, and we all know how incentivized those big platforms are to providing actual critiques of their products.

I’ve settled on just telling people what I use and why, and sometimes they look thoughtful, and I do what I can with my own limited knowledge and time. More a minimization of harm than going for broke.

Fighting(?) the good fight, O Canacha.

Here’s a condensed version:

“It’s not that mistakes were made, you just got angry. Spontaneously. Weird how that happened, when we love you just, like, so much.

Anyways, let’s move on. Fill out a form to become a member of an unpaid focus group.”

I just want someone to set up a loading bar beneath them that varies depending on how complete/fucked up the flag is.

Watch people build a graveyard of dead 3rd party apps, which gets wiped every so often by admins.

Which then gets covered up by a vague drawing that oscillates between a middle finger and a pixelated penis.

The nice thing about smaller communities is that it’s more like going to the pub than speed-dating; there’s an increasingly familiar regular crowd that feels like community, rather than a focus on quick content, hoping for a spark of interest.

And those communities haven’t a fraction of the drama and hostility. Mainly because they’re small and new, but that’s why you move to a new site, anyways.
