Look at current active posts (5 min if I look at comments), look at news mega (10 min if I haven’t looked at it in about 12 hours), sort posts by top 6 hours, see nothing new, sort by top 12 hours, see maybe 1 new post in my slop (2 min), sort by new and look at new posts (2 min), call someone a liberal (30 sec), sort by active again and then repeat
Have you tried:
Go back through own comment history to see if there are any new comments in the threads you’ve already commented in (10m)
Browse Subscribed and realise it’s just a weird subset of Local plus one or two grad comms (2 mins)
Browse All and realise it’s just Local, plus those grad comms, plus some comms in Fr*nch or Italian (3 mins)
See a comment removed by moderator, go to the mod log but can’t find the comment (1 min)
I’m not going to lie, as long as I’m not involved in it, I like seeing the drama so sometimes I actively browse modlog (also a good way to find bullying sessions against random hogs that wandered in).
Not a lot of juice for the squeeze these days though, it’s mostly posts/comments getting removed for procedural rules right now, like link formatting or posting in the dunk or drej or non-dunk non-drej comms or whatever
