What matters to you most? I’m not sure I know the answer myself, but I’m curious what you all think.
- Moderation. Reddit circa 2015 with its cheerful encouragement of bad actors and fear of censorship is the opposite of what i want. I need a community that isnt afraid to drop the hammer on groups that make the site unwelcome. There is no place in a decent community for racists, sexists, homophobes, or transphobes.
- Activity. I need a reason to access it every day and train my brain to access it and worthwhile, engaging, entertaining, and educational content is what I’m looking for anywhere on the internet.
- Engagement. I love the feel of web 2.0 style forums and that included a solid bit of engagement in what now would be considered comment threads. Its one of the only places on earth i feel comforable talking so an engaged userbase is ideal.
