    There was a big thread yesterday where people voiced their complaints about spammy threads, and comrade rose, strangely, did not respond at all. Sus, idk.

    The main sorting algorithm seems to be extremely weird IMO. It gives new posts too much priority, with no care whether or not consecutive posts are made by same person.

    Attached image is screenshot of the first 2 pages on site home page, i.e. what a new user would see. All of comrade rose’s posts which spark no discussion and get less than 10 upvotes are marked dark red, ones that sparked some discussion are marked light red.

    Is this really how a site should be kept alive? Is this really a witchunt? Bump this thread please.

      Thes are the correct questions!

      The ‘keeping the community alive’ angle is nonsensical. One person throwing out old news and memes to an audience of silence isn’t a community.

      I get 6-8 incoming phone calls a day, but that isn’t a sign of a bustling social life when 5-8 of those calls are unsolicited telemarketers.
