MODERATORS
Once in a while on Reddit one of your most irrelevant comments would receive like 1000 replies, and the other times - nothing. Here it is much more evenly spread. And usually you can go into deep discussion with multiple back and forth.
I remember Reddit was the same when I joined it during Digg exodus.

Remember that one time when we were talking about that, but then we found out where the cheese was and there was less talking and more cheese eating?
Cheese you say?? What are we doing here, leggo!

What…what do I do now? Am I doing this right?
I love the whole thing to be honest. I am happy to have replies days later. Reddit posts would go "stale" so fast and even if you did comment, you were more than likely to be torn to shreds for existing. It isn't perfect here, but that is because we are people. Getting even half a voice is far better than the anxiety inducing nightmare the Internet tends to be. If I don't want to argue with someone, I just don't respond. If I or someone else end up replying days later, awesome!
I feel a lot more comfortable chiming in once in a while here. The Internet will always be the Internet, but getting even a tiny bit of human connection is amazing. Going from letters, phones, AOL, to now is a miracle. We may be fucked as a species, but sometimes the little things are enough.
Now, go watch Contact. That movie is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Ghost hugs for all!

We'll figure it out together. If we don't comment and post content, I fear that we'll never really sustain the kind of success we hope to replicate from the other place.
