Maybe because we all want this to work out and be a thing.

    1. The top 3 most upvoted comments aren’t unfunny puns.
    2. This feels mor elike a ‘community’ because there’s fewer people. I don’t feel like I’m screaming at a tornado.
    3. More niche content. It’s more fractured and I liked that about the early internet and early-reddit.
    4. My Reddit account got banned for a fucking ridiculous reason and every new account I make they re-ban. Fuck Reddit and it’s over-sanitised, Disney-bullshit.
    5. I can speak British English without my comment getting deleted. E.g. “Can I bum a fag mate”?

      Regarding 2, it is sort of ridiculous how many comments some posts get on reddit. And you’re really unlikely to get any interaction leaving a comment on a post that already has say, 12,000 comments, while meanwhile due to the way the site works, more and more people see the posts that are already at the top.

        It’s easy to sort by new and camp new posts

          You underestimate the power of defaults. I can guarantee you a large percentage of people might even know it’s possible but don’t want to bother tinkering with settings or just forget about that on the few minutes they just scroll and read/comment.

      Having to collapse so many low effort joke comments to find real discussion on reddit, if at all, was very annoying.

      I didn’t realize that was something I have not had to do here yet, quite nice.

        Right, then sometimes a reply to the top comment would be “this” then for some reason everyone keeps just replying “this”
