Hey again, so I've had some time to use this platform a bit more since my last post and I do honestly like it, but I'm not sure if that is misplaced. There are a few 'good characters' on here that want a real conversation but they exist en-mass in every other type of forum or chat board. Reddit is essentially a platform for 250,000,000 of them.
I'm kind of sick of people commenting saying "Oh man! Yeah! haha!" or "Great post man, I love it". When everyone involved in that interaction is knowingly disingenuous. If I am to make the claim that I value genuine social interaction over financially incentivised engagement than how am I to justify my use of this as a primary platform? Evidently, I am placing value on money as opposed to social interaction otherwise I would be on Reddit.
At its core, I like this because it has the power to act a tool in the liberation of knowledge and information. It can unshackle certain topic from taboo or censorship and when it is fully operational perhaps provide funding for important research that otherwise would not exist. It gives the people power - Through giving their voice weight - but these functions exist outside of our use of this platform. So again, I wonder, why am 'I' on here? Why are you on here?
Hey hey, very good points but as you grow on the platform you will notice that you will develop a community of your own. Everyone is here to monetize their voice yes, but there are people here with the intentions of interacting with or without.
I if you go through some of my post you will see that it’s stsrting to truly develop and is getting better daily.
I actually just understood it when you mentioned about a community. It's not about posting banal "this is what I had today" it's about building a community, similar to something like Patreon. I've followed you man, thank you for helping me with that dude. I can quit my bitching now. That's made me feel all warm and optimistic now.
I'm definitely going to be writing some uninformed articles about how this made me subjectively feel later
😃😃 glad I could help. It took me a while as well but once the bulb goes off it’s a wonderful thing. Hope to see you post.
