Local message boards are gone because they end up becoming dominated by weirdos and the people who don't have anything else to do, so end up posting constantly.

Local message boards are gone because they end up becoming dominated by weirdos and the people who don't have anything else to do, so end up posting constantly. Think of the comments section of a local newspaper website.
- icedchai 3y agoI don't think this is entirely correct. The same weirdos are now posting on reddit.
- bbsz 3y agoIt also says something that most of local newspaper websites already disabled their comments section few years back because of this exact reason. That's what at least happened to the few I was visiting. It was really bad though. Made you wonder that those are just regular folks walking the same sidewalks as myself and in their past time they just go on and express fantasies of violence under some "grassroots" politics column.
