One thing I really miss from Reddit is that there’s almost always an expert in the comments. And I don’t mean a know-it-all, I mean people of the kind “I wrote the paper this article is based on”, “I used this exact tool professionally for the last ten years”, and of course amazing “Astronomer here”. These people come from having much larger user base. I don’t want all the people from Reddit here, but I do want more, and these in particular. Of course, if we get these, the others will follow, which will probably be sort of a problem.
Also, it would be have a wider range of people here, now it’s very, very much skewed towards IT.
I think people are retreating more and more into chat groups. Those people are not on reddit anymore, they are probably in discord related to certain products hobbies etc.
I really wonder how long until we will start seeing the effects of not having more updated general knowledge in the public web, but oh well 🤷
On a side note, after all, the web always had a bias and a lot of fields never had easily available public discussions…
