Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that is worrying

[WTFisWallace?]

Who's deciding what has merit in the goofy section of the forum where people are asking if they'd have sex with midgets, celebrate the deaths of others, call black people c00ns, call black women bedwenches, etc.?


This sites traffic dropped lile 77 percent from like 20 million visits this year. People take their cliques and form little enclaves outside of the forum, post less and then someone who isn't interesting fills the void and traffic continues to fall.

And you haven’t thought….’hmm, maybe the drop is due to right wing narratives and “bedwench” shyt already proliferating here’?



Like bnew said, less moderation would lead to this being Elon’s twitter status

No I never thought that. We've always had posters who took politics more serious then others on both sides and we used to just duke it out in the forum for that topic.

At some point someone over there got tired of the back and forths and decided to just start banning or limiting posters for their opinions and those refugees came to The Locker Room. They were followed by the people they were arguing with over there and heavier moderation came to more sections of the forum.

There are currently many coli Discord's filled with active posters and banned posters. When this shyt finally go down the tube's, that's gonna be the next pivot and the same thing will happen there with more moderation.

Ultinately the site is about making money so how you gonna ban people when you can't register new posters.
