  • As someone that likes to do a lot of scrolling, I’m also running into the same problem. There really just isn’t enough content here for it yet. There’s already a pretty small over all amount of users posting, and people have likes and dislikes and tastes and vibes, so out of that small amount, there’s only so much to interact with. Like, there’s a fair amount of content in ask and chat style communities and TV communities but no one likes everything or thinks the same topics are interesting.

    So it really just needs more. So that there’s more of the same types of people watching the same shows and interested in the same topics. It doesn’t have to be packed in here, it could just do with a little more of something for everyone. It would’ve been nice if there were more than two people discussing Harley Quinn season 5 for example.

    On Reddit I could spend all day every day interacting with my particular interests without ever feeling like I’m being a nuisance or repeating myself. It’s nice having a smaller crowd but I’d like something between this and Reddit.




  • Yeah I guess there’s two different categories of sci-fi in this regard. Personally, I think stuff that’s as far ahead in the future as Star Trek is pretty close to fantasy. But then there’s also the Philip K. Dick style near future dystopian sci-fi that serves more as a warning about the future we’re headed to (or instruction manual if you’re a techbro CEO).

    Fantasy is probably the same actually. I usually think happy thoughts if I think about fantasy as a genre but then there’s also stuff like Game of Thrones.










  • Thinking about the USA right now too much doesn’t lead to any good sleep for me at all right now. Because there’s bad things happening to good people there. I feel awful for the actual decent people that share a country with cruel and dogmatic clowns. People who probably live next door to someone who voted to ensure their rights get taken away and their lives become even more miserable.

    I honestly struggle to come to terms with the fact so many people are still so cruel and backwards. It’s not the stupidity that’s the main problem, it’s the malicious intent and desire to turn everyone into a goose stepping clone. And how easily people are turned into goose stepping clones. Conned by reality stars and drug addicted tech bros, what a joke. I think it’s part stupidity and part the fact that these people really are just malicious assholes, so they could’ve been convinced into this by a talking toilet brush mascot.

    I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathic, and the people who dare to live lives that are true to themselves without dogma who have to live in a country with the stupid and selfish, and the people who want to impose their narrow minded puritanical views onto everyone else with force and cruelty.

    I’ll be sleeping like a baby when the goose stepping clowns are all dying of some easily preventable disease that they could’ve vaccinated for but right now there’s nothing comforting about what’s going on there.



  • Yeah, it’s not all bad. Although I think just like Reddit, your experience is largely influenced by the communities in your feed. Seeing the general outlook in here makes me realise I could stand to spend more time in communities like this than I have been.

    There’s actually a lot of good about this place, even if it’s not sunshine and rainbows all the time or perfect.

    I do think it could be a little busier though. A lot of communities could do with more posters and conversation in the comments in general. Like, there’s still a lot of room for more activity around here without it getting overcrowded and not seeing regulars anymore.

    That said, there’s actually more than enough good content and people, to make it worth coming back here tomorrow, particularly in the non politics and news cycle side of things here. And I agree that it does feel more international here than Reddit, even if 90% of the news still revolves around the USA anyway lol.





  • Some parts of markdown were made to be intuitive and natural like

    And then other parts of it are just infuriating. Like how if you try to post song lyrics or something, the markdown just mashes every sentence together in one line for some reason. So you have to know the secret code just to make gdamn new lines. I actually pressed enter to go to a new line 5 times in this paragraph but it comes out all jumbled together after posting.

    As far as I’m concerned, I shouldn’t need to know some special formatting just for return to work properly.
