100 sats \ 0 replies \ @Signal312 20 Apr \ on: Why should someone post on SN? meta
I want to post SOMEWHERE. I have a lot to say, and I enjoy writing, and getting feedback. People here are generally on the same wavelength.
I love the sats, I love zapping other stackers for well written posts and comments. And then so many of the other sites are trash. Reddit, Facebook, etc.
Take Facebook. There's a HUGE carnivore group there (World Carnivore Tribe) and it has all kinds of interesting info. BUT trying to find that into, trying to find the good comments is so hamstrung by the fact that YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. And absolutely everything about the Facebook UI is pointed towards one goal. That goal is--having you spend as much time as possible on the site, so you can be shown ads. And that's it.
So naturally, it makes the Facebook experience crappy, you're constantly being hijacked by clickbait. I hate using it, though I need to occasionally.
