It's weird some people here have such issues with reply guys. Mostly when I post about nerdy shit people are pretty universally positive in the replies until posts get to 100-200 boosts, and then yeah my posts get solidly into the long tail of bad replies and I tend to mute em
I'm starting to wonder if this is a small server vs large server thing, since PMG is tiny compared to the big well known servers. Only reason I can come up with for the discrepancy in experience
@eniko I’m genuinely nervous about being seen as one. I generally just like to chat with people and feel isolated and lonely. It’s not that I try to bring in a bunch of negativity or be contrarian, I just want to hang around cool people.
I wonder if the type of comments change when it goes from people who follow you (I.e. I know a bit about what you do for a living and topics you’ve brought up before) and boosts into random people.
Similar to small vs large, as it’s about proximity.
@breadbin random people definitely changes the feel of things. But often it's just outright negativity so I feel if you're avoiding that you're probably okay?
@SallyStrange@eniko For me (also on small server) there is some tipping point where at first people are nicely engaged but then bad replies start to come in--and it happens a lot sooner than 100-200 boosts, maybe as few as 15 sometimes, certainly by 30-40
