You left out the worst thing: the upvote-downvote system, which ensures that an hivemind echo chamber is almost guaranteed to arise. Any slightly controversial post, or in fact anything which does not run with the dominating opinion, is immediately hidden from view.
- foodjinn 5y agoThis is far and away the largest reason I avoid the site beyond niche hobby stuff. The moment a discussion CAN have dissent, the "game" of the site incentivizes you to only say things people agree with, otherwise you are hidden from conversation, and in many cases limited to respond.
