EDIT: see reply below. Also don’t know how to do strikethrough but pretend the paraphrased bit is struck out.
… focus on -[putting]- content here.
I absolutely hate that people say this. Ffs, not every single platform needs to be about the content unless you’re looking to monetize the platform. I personally got off Reddit because of how shit 99% of the community was on there and how overarching the hivemind was - and I also personally went on the Fediverse because of the community that’s emerging over here, not the content itself. If you want content vomit, then just go onto Instagram or back to Reddit.
I know you mean well, but this kind of thing just grinds my gears lol.
I didn’t say I want content vomit. I said focusing on content is essential. A community is nothing without content. We need questions being asked and answered in our tech communities. We need artists and musicians posting in theirs. We need conversation that is thought provoking which allows our communities to form and flourish.
If you see the word content and just jump to dumb memes than I think that’s more of an issue with your way of thinking than an issue with anything I have suggested.
Edit: you also added the word [putting] to my comment which adds unintended meaning on what I said. I didn’t say anything about generating content. Quality is more important than quantity in my opinion. lol.
Touche - and I honestly was thinking you meant just cramming content onto the Fediverse, like I have seen a good whack of people suggest on here. I thought my paraphrasing was clarifying the statement, when I reality I was getting it mixed up, so my apologies on that.
I guess the way you put “focus on content” and explained it is, to me at least, the way I would see cultivating a community; I assume that the content natural to that community would come about regardless of it being taken off Reddit and slapped on here, if that makes sense.
It just irks me that it seems like a good chunk of people want the Fediverse to become Reddit 2.0 versus its own little thing, like with r/196 being transplanted to here being and the dumb Reddit-tier poop inside joke being examples.
This should not become reddit 2.0. let them keep their platform for poop jokes. I’m 100% content with the users we have and have had a wonderful time engaging with them. We don’t need to advertise on r/place is the point I tried to make. We don’t need the people who are still using reddit and think it’s funny writing FUCK on r/place.

I completely agree, friendo.

Sorry if I didn’t get that across originally.
