Thank you for the...Honestly, you're post probably would have been fine if you would have just put a nice little description about what your post was and was hoping to achieve.

Thank you for the praise, means a lot to me that even if you may disagree you appreciate the discussion.
I also agree with the Reddit thing, I may have miscommunicated what I meant. I meant to say that I think of it as a site in a similar vein to Reddit, but definitely a thing of it's own through different ideas unlike copycat sites such as voat.

Last night I posted a topic called "real sad boi hours", a ritualistic kind of post I've carried over from Reddit. I chose to post it in ~talk since the description for the group says it is for "Open-ended discussions with fellow Tildes users, casual or serious", and I felt there is nothing more open-ended or casual than real sad boi hours. At first, the topic was meant just as it usually does on Reddit. Got a few responses in which people talked about their day and how they were feeling. But right now, the most voted comment is complaining about how we need to restrict invitations to prevent low effort users like me from joining. One thing the user said was that is is obvious there are users joining who have not read the manifesto. I'm just going to spew my own opinion on a few points here:
-
I don't think gatekeeping is a solution, especially since iirc this site is not going to be permanently invite-only. Not to mention that's just a childish solution anyway.
-
I don't know what is expected from ~talk. As I said before, I legitimately believe my nightly "real sad boi hours" posts fit exactly what the description of the group says. However, that is up to interpretation I suppose.
-
If my post was against some rule (which apparently roughly 17 users believe it is), there should be some kind of rule set or moderation set in place (though I understand why there isn't, the site being private still and all). My impression so far has been that if you don't like content, you just ignore it. But now I'm seeing that apparently, people don't like to ignore it. They want me gone.
-
Is every user expected to read the manifesto? You may be able to get away with this while it's private (and even then, there is still users like me who only read a few pages) but if/when this site goes public, expecting every user or even just most the users to read the manifesto is a pipe dream. As far as I can tell, the reddiquette (which I have also not read) is shorter than the manifesto and nobody reads that either unless they need to. The only reason I know the reddiquette is because I've picked up on bits of it as time went on.
Maybe I'm just a butt-hurt bitch that people complained about me and I can't take criticism. I'm sure people who disliked my post will think that is it. I also may have a skewed perception of what this site is. I view it as an improvement upon Reddit and honestly I think some of this innovation may work great, which is why I'm here in the first place. I want to hear your take on what I said, and anything else you'd like to add.

To have every user who joins read a manifesto about the sites goals is a little ridiculous I think most will agree. Not to mention, I'm unsure what you expect from the ~talk section. Should it be restricted to serious conversation only? Perhaps we could add an IQ test which you must score a certain level to be allowed to post.

There isn't even an ability to downvote irrelevant discussion, nor does there appear to be any kind of moderation preventing low effort content (hence my post is still up despite people complaining about it). Most the stuff I've read about that stuff sounds more like an unrealistic wish list than an actual description of this site's capabilities and functions.

But that worked out because I got to go to Cracker Barrel after, which was chill.

Double date with my girlfriend and her two friends, I think we're going to get sushi? I can't remember but I'm hyped for that regardless.
My 2 favorite bands right now are Municipal Waste and have A Nice Life. Both are very different from eachother (Municipal Waste is thrash metal, HANL is more shoegaze-y) and very different from your taste I think. I heard peep is dope btu I haven't heard any of his stuff yet. I bump some X but not a ton. My brother is really into him so it's kind of rubbed off on me lol. I want to listen to some more x too since he recently died. If you have any pepp suggestions feel free to drop me some, im not busy rn or most nights usually.
