Curious @ybb your take on what discussion board postings are less than before. I’ve noticed the same. I think many posters get enthusiastic in the beginning but difficult to make real conversation possible.
Probably like me, sick of the crazy political rantings (mostly the commie liberal snowflake variety) that have infested every thread on here...and makes this a rather unsavory, unwelcoming shadow of what it once was or coulda been.
There is political. And then there's criminal indictments. Prosecutors don't proceed with indictments unless they are sure about the defendants' guilt.
@rsorden. I hate to give you the attention you so obviously crave but throwing words like “ commie liberal snowflake “ and “every thread” disqualifies you from having any credibility.
The "crazy political rantings that have infested every thread on here" have typically been initiated by you right-wing fanatics.
As evidenced by this thread.
Anything that you don't agree with is of course "the commie liberal snowflake variety". You people start this crap, then whine when someone responds with factual information. Kinda one-way.
@Devo, my guess is that discussion boards have a handful of posters (super-posters?) who tend to post/reply on everything. Sometimes, when they have no clue, they just ask for more details. So, after a while, discussions become repetitive. I keep an eye on OP Views (unfortunately, Reply Views are not separately available).
X/Twitter & Facebook are much bigger platforms. Not every post gets analyzed endlessly. It's more like "say what you have to say & move on". They also have ways to indicate whether you Like a post (without commenting +1 or making some generic comment). Some of my contents there may have hundreds of views without comments.
I Follow you on X/Twitter. So, anything you post on X/Twitter shows up on my feed. There nothing similar at discussion boards - Follow or Like at discussion boards (where available) are not as effective.
In my opinion, your contributions are unique because you contribute a lot and are not expecting anything in return. @Jasonfurman on Twitter is another that comes to mind. Many serial posters at Twitter want something in return but that’s probably too much generalizing about fintwit. It’s difficult to keep writing and posting without a feedback loop. It needs a different kind of personality.

dI’ve deleted previous comment because I see this thread turning ugly and don’t participate in hurling brickbats.
