people posting here are going out of their way to post -- and it feels like every thought has more weight or sanctity or meaning when it's being posted here, at the dawn of a new era and the fall of an old.

i'm spending more time actually reading and engaging with every comment, parsing the details and thinking about it, conceptually. versus just looking at garbage all day, garbage with a little bit of fentanyl in to keep you hooked

It's also the sheer volume of comments on Reddit. There are far fewer people commenting here, so each individual comment stands out more.

Exactly, I can actually read every comment in a thread and not get bogged down reading 300 comments on the same thing

I remember the old days of reddit and slashdot et al. A typical post would have a few dozen or maybe one or two hundred replies. A huge post would have like five or eight hundred replies. A thousand was insane.

These days, 10,000+ is not uncommon. The biggest threads have had tens of thousands of replies. It's insane, the inflation.
