I know, why didn’t the beehaw mods consult you before they decided their names?! How selfish of them!

Wigglehard doesn’t care a lot:

In the twilight years I mostly just used Reddit as an information aggregate.

I’m primarily wanting a place where I can read information for both niche and general topics, as well as read the dissent to that information in the same space.

Maybe I become more engaged in the community. But going from:

Private forums > old reddit > new reddit

Each step felt like I knew and was known by fewer people. All while knowing less about the people I did recognise. I spent a lot of time in “off topic” sections of the private forums, commented and generated a fair amount on old Reddit, and mostly lurked on new Reddit.

I think the whole situation has me cynical about the idea of “internet community”, and maybe that’s something I need to work on.
