I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

I’ve noticed that some people do use other filters than “Hot” or they scroll back in smaller communities, because I’ll occasionally get comment replies to posts I made months ago. It’s cool to see.

Does the Active feed work this way?

I love hearing about research like this. But yeah, that would be an ethical dilemma. Especially determining how much you trust that your system works, and proving that they are of sound enough mind to make such a decision even if they’re answering yes/no.

I hope things pick up for you man.

It’s totally replaced reddit for me. Every community I’m interested is smaller than I’m used to, but much more positive. It’s cool even seeing a lot of the same names occasionally as I navigate around the site.

I hope it keeps this level of quality as it grows.
