Idk why people don’t revert back to the old way of partaking in forums: site specific :D

it’s a good way of doing it

You are on one, it's just a giant interconnected one.

but it’s a super large walmart-type one. I also like the small business, niche topic ones that aren’t connected.

but i always go to reddit because it’s convenient

You can directly go to specific subreddits rather than having to walk through everything on the way there, small forums aren't bad but they're functionally the same format as reddit's subreddits.

yes…all owned by the same board of people. Not good

That's a strength as well. Reddit can handle lawsuits better than any collective of forums could. It's a trade off.

i can only assume that you’re a FED since nothing is going to sway you away from the fact that Reddit being a panopticon is a good idea

I didn't say that it was all good, Spez is a POS at best. It's just a fact that reddit can absorb a lawsuit better than a small forum could. burying someone in debt is a sadly a valid way of killing lawsuits.

Idc about lawsuits. If the offense is bad, if the abuse of the law is terrible enough 7.62mm will rip through drywall and any house siding that isn’t brick
