    I was for many years a heavy user and while I liked my niche communities, I abhorred the platform and how it was manipulating us through multiple schemes.

    Oddly enough, while the communities here are smaller or nonexistent, the experience seems better and healthier.
    Maybe in time this will change too.

      You need strict rules and strong moderation once any community gets to a certain size and starts attracting people outside of the enthusiasts.

      The platform doesn’t matter, it’s just that lots of people suck and ruin the experience for others if there are enough of them.
