It really breaks my heart to see no one's replied to my comment nor left one on my stories. Feels like nobody really likes me.
I clicked purely to find out what the fuck they meant by nonfiction.
I just woke up, I'm allowed to be retarded...
You have a typo in the title to this post, OP. I just noticed.
Back in the day, before the moderation process changed (anyone tired of me saying that yet? I feel like I say that a lot now), user interactions were more frequent and less sporadic.
Posts stayed up longer on the main page and weren't constantly pushed back (and thus forgot about or skipped over) by the newest posts. New submissions stayed in a moderation queue. Until the posts in the moderation queue were approved, users commented more on the ones that were already approved.
It really changed the dynamic of the site and, in my oh-so-humble opinion, not for the better.
With the old process of moderation, I used to get way more replies to comments that I made on people's posts as well as getting more comments on posts that I would make myself too.
The community felt stronger that way.
I agree. Conversations are not what they use to be. A good post can be pushed so far down the list in only a few hours. They are cut short.
And it doesn't have to be a great post, just something to inspire communication beyond random insults and flirting. Even this post now is on page two and your comment isn't even 8 hours old.
Yeah, it really is sad to see it going this way. All the while knowing how it used to be, and how much better it was then. The worst part is how hopeless it all seems. Udi is barely a part of this place anymore (for whatever reasons), and we apparently only have one person doing any kind of moderation. From what I hear, they don't do a very good job either...
I just don't know anymore. I feel that, for the time and effort one puts into this site, it barely gives back anymore. You know? It makes a person wonder if it's even worth it. I could definitely be doing more productive things with all this time that I spend here.
I always get a tiny bit exited at a glimpse of red in the top right of the screen and always a pang of boredom if not
