For me, the biggest downside is there just isn’t the same amount of content/engagement as reddit. Also, it’s even more of a left wing echo chamber than reddit (and I say this as someone left of centre).
Yeah I’ve lost faith in this place and I say that as a staunch leftist. It’s an echo chamber so what’s the point, isn’t that just a circlejerk? I wanted to impact change but here you can’t do that you can either agree on everything or be downvoted.
The positive in all this is I spend less than an hour on here a day on average, compared to previously or Reddit where it could be hours.
Shh. Don’t tell anyone, but the votes here don’t matter much. (At least for now.) When a post gets less than 20 comments, even the lowest voted response gets seen.
That said, I stay on my toes regarding courtesy and accepting correction when I’m wrong, because I think users are quick to block anyone who
siestaseems to be arguing in poor faith. (Which is me projecting, because I am so quick to block if someone is talking past others instead of with them.)I’ve been here for a little while now and I still find myself using Reddit to fill the gaps. But hopefully as more and more people join, then we get more content and engagement!
