The participation seems way down recently. What did I miss?

Yep it's down a lot. I think it's because it's just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes. It feels like a reddit clone that has the exact same mindset as reddit. I get annoyed when I see people being moderated for having an opinion that is not popular.

I saw a post being locked yesterday for asking about moderation. Doesn't anyone else see the problem with that? Your channels rules are not more important than making people feel they can talk and express what's on their mind.

I hate that so much. Stop treating people like they are just resources to moderate.

I don't see much discussions. But I'm sure there is a few here and there.

Yeah the aggressive mod removals on a platform that is starved for interaction is dumb as fuck. I haven’t had much of my stuff removed, but when someone replies to me and it’s removed before I can see what they said it irritates me to no end. Let dude make his shitty point so I can engage in toxic online dick wagging stupidity like I want to god damnit.

Voyager, at least, will still let you see deleted replies in your notifications — it's only tapping on them that will show they're deleted.
