seems like it’s 97% memes or news articles. i love a good shitpost but this site would be even better with in depth nuanced discussion – especially with a higher quality userbase than reddit

    Gotta have more users for text posts. I don’t know about you guys but if I see a text post with 10 comments I move on unless I have something good to say. I’m way more likely to get involved if 500 comments are already there. Does this make sense? Probably not, but it’s very intuitive.

      Yes, it kind of does. Idk why, but I’m very likely to engage on comments, but very unlikely to be the first person to comment on a post. I recognized this the other day when I clicked a post I wanted to comment on, realized there were no comments, and hit the back button. But then I realized how that’s kind of dumb, and not great behavior for a fledgling website, so I went back and commented.
