    I don’t feel lost in a crowd of shitposters. I post something on c/poetry, ten people upvote and I’m like hey ten people read this, that’s cool. It feels real where Reddit does not often.

        I’m glad you like! I’ve discovered that if I check out several poetry ebooks on my phone at a time I’ll always stumble across something amazing. Someone asked me last week who my favourite poets are, and it’s really a five way tie.

      Exactly this. Everyone has enough space to have their voice heard here. There aren’t too many threads I read where i get bored before I read everyone’s comments.

      I post every day since I know people will see it and it won’t immediately get buried. I get to know the names of people that regularly comment on my posts. Just seems more personal.

      Afaik upvote count on Reddit isn’t even real anymore. It is still somehow rooted on the real count but their algorithm tempers with the count in undisclosed ways.

        That’s right, the votes are fuzzed. I left Reddit after I made a post about a Nazi, and Reddit banned me for harassing Nazis. Reddit is evidently ok with Nazis.

          Capitalist platforms are okay with anything until it’s no longer good for business. Fascism, and by extension, Nazism, is generally good for business.
