  • All right first of all no, you don’t get to just claim that people are less likely to do something based on nothing. I’m not going to let that stand in this conversation. You got to prove that. If anything I’m much less likely to talk on the phone than I am to click on a pop up. Avoiding talking to people is one of my passions. So not only have you not proven it but it goes directly against my own inclinations and nature. I deny that 100%.

    Also since you came to this conversation with no actual information apparently let me share something with you. It is a pop up. You probably should have checked on that before you based your argument on it. You don’t have to go looking for it. Just pops up on your screen.

    However I do agree with one point you raised here. There absolutely is a sampling bias. Just as I said in my previous post. And I appreciate you backing me up on that point. The bias is toward people who choose to answer the survey. As is true for all surveys.


  • Frankly it being Federated in and of itself is already the biggest advantage over Reddit in my opinion. And let’s face it all of our opinions really that’s why we’re here. That already solves probably the majority of problems that Reddit had. As for the rest though? Bots are always a problem, not all are bad of course some are quite useful, but it’s something that requires constant vigilance to monitor because Bots can and will ruin communities. The other major issue is of course moderation. How do you police the mods? On that note I think the one thing I’d like to see done is limiting of power mods. Just like Reddit there do exist mods that moderate a large numbers of different communities. This will always lead to problems.
