This isn't a doom, but this is a gripe about the direction this board is starting to turn.
First, just want to say, I've been with TD since it's inception. I came to this board immediately after Nov 6 to develop game theory and become brighter while expanding my thinking from the contributions of other anons:
We are researchers who deal in open-source information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of ideas and ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here. WE ARE THE PUBLIC FACE OF Q. OUR MISSION IS TO RED-PILL NORMIES.
Keep posts related to topics Q has raised or that are current.
All the dank memes are on pats.win. I haven't actually seen a dank, informative meme here in a while.
Too many lame, repetitive, attention seeking posts about "I finally got some balls and took my mask off today! Go me, right guys?!" No. Not go you. I'm glad you finally found some courage, but honestly, I could care less and I don't understand why sometimes those types of posts are stickied on the front.
Too many vaccine posts. Yes, we get it, it's an unverified act of war. That's why we're all here. People are dying, that sucks, but unless its a prayer post, can we focus on actual published data and not so much hear-say?
I feel like this board became a place for normies that recently awaken to shoot the shit and bitch, instead of connecting the dots and looking out for proofs.
Sorry for sounding like a bummer, but we shouldn't lose sight of why this board exists.
I don't disagree with the general sentiment. High quality posts, i.e. longer discussions with supporting information, are often not seen (stickied). Low quality or "feel good" posts are often rewarded.
This is more of a mod problem than a poster problem. If people can up their game score by posting stupid shit, they will post stupid shit.
I don't agree that posts should be limited, but I do think more focus should be placed on making high quality posts visible, and not putting feel good posts as high as they are. This all by itself would probably take care of the problem.
Posts should only be limited to the community guidelines (imho) -- that being said; I would consider my (this) post for removal if I was a mod; I contributed nothing except to complain about low quality posts. =/
but it needed to be said.
