Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?
Why is kbin so full of empty stuff?
I'm not asking to be snarky or anything... I'm subbed to plenty of magazines that I enjoy reading.
It's just that the front page has the "random magazines" section, and the top bar is full of a seemingly random list of unrelated magazines... and 99% of what shows up in these two places is just empty. They seem like magazines that were made as placeholders and have been sitting empty for 6 months.
These two spots seem like prime real estate that should be filled with useful subs; or at least that magazines under a certain threshold ought to be filtered out of these locations to keep them relevant.
Or am I missing something?
You're viewing a single thread.
None of the communities I actually need ever migrated here; most people just did not care. I still go to reddit for things relating to Japanese residency topics, finances, etc. as it is the only place I know of. I only visit those subs, though.
There are also people like me who post like one thing a year (though I comment much more).
Japanese residency topics
You're a braver person than I. The Reddit Japan subs are just far too toxic for me, and several of the mods are monsters.
Sounds interesting. Do you have examples?
Of toxicity? Or of the mods being monsters?
I don't have specific examples, since I stopped using the Japan subreddits several years ago. But they are swamps of toxicity. Everyone is mad at each other and seems to hate their own lives. The new users ask the same 3 basic questions every single day, while the old users seem like new users are the only thing they hate more than Japan. The mods are ban happy and will punish people like tyrants for the slightest mistake, and while I sympathize with them for the crap they have to sift through, they themselves are some of the sub's most toxic users. It's just a terrible place.
It's still not perfect, but there were some changes in recent years. The main residents-only sub split into two with different moderation policies. I'm subbed to both. I also think some people generally chilled out more, and the removal of certain trolls also increased. Just my opinion, but I also don't spend nearly as much time there.
I want to post but I ran out of willpower due to other conditions on top of the whole reddit thing. Still meaning to...
But I comment as usual. I see and have the same issues, though I don't go back to reddit unless I'm specifically searching for something online and it directs there, and I use libredirect to not give direct traffic.
