That would apply to every website with a comments section, sadly. I think the solution to this is smaller, more isolated groups -- with limited edges between.

I think the solution to this is smaller, more isolated groups -- with limited edges between. Back to email threads and Mumble servers, imo. The downside is we'll all be living in filter bubbles, but I think any shared community with a common value (like a video game) is better than some ginormous platform like Facebook.
- denimnerd42 6y agoI am really disappointed that all the php bulletin board forums I used to visit as a teen and young adult have all died off or been sold to an advertising conglomerate and most of the users have fled to Facebook groups. Facebook is just not the same as a forum. The quality of posts is lower, the reposting is much higher, and the sense of community is actually lost. Facebook has even killed craigslist. Or at least greatly reduced the usefulness.
