        The worst of the trolls seem to get bored and move on.

        Most of the posts here have good intentions and the admins are trying to keep things good

        Do we? Why do we need the niche communities?

        Reddit didn’t start with them either. Neither did Digg.

          Also, it was a joke about keenflame asking us to fuck them and that being a niche community.

          Seriously though, the algorithm is a powerful mistress. Every time somebody leaves here to go visit a niche community that we’re lacking. They get a taste of that sweet algorithm again.

          I managed to pretty much carve out all the algorithms in my social graph. Most of the stuff I’m seeing is from communities that I’ve curated. There is no doom scrolling on my feed. I really dearly love being able to consume, get the most important news and a couple of lols and then go about my day.

          Well, no, the site doesn’t /need/ them as such but 100% it’s a major issue for people coming over. Their hobbies are represented on Reddit. But not on here.
