Asking for your opinions on Rabbit Hole

submitted by LarrySwinger2 from self.AskSaidIt

When I post about Rabbit Hole, I do receive support in the form of upvotes, often to the top, but there's hardly any engagement. I'm trying to understand why. Some people have expressed their opinions but I'm trying to get a larger sample. Is it because it's a flat forum, because it isn't a link aggregator, because the ice needs to be broken, or something else? Please tell me.

It needs more functionality and the interface is a little off-putting but at least you're providing an alternative. Maybe it needs more boob pics? That would draw u/musky possibly...

[–]LarrySwinger2[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Other way around. I need to hire Musky to post boob pics regularly to draw more users.

Actually, could you tell me what functionality you're missing and what it is about the interface that puts you off?

I like visual elements on a page like thumbnails and the ability to embed media. That forum format reminds me too much of technical forums where I go for troubleshooting Linux things and the only question related to my issue is an unanswered post from five years ago. I also like link-aggregation like Saidit/Reddit but I don't know how feasible it would be.

I kind of don't want to do what everyone's doing. There's https://matrix.gvid.tv though which is run by /u/x0x7.

[–]Megatron95 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. I get what you're saying. I checked out x0x7's site and it's quite similar to reddit and you obviously don't want to make a clone. Alas, I lack creativity when it comes to user interfaces. I looked online for templates but it all looked like facebook cancer...

Looks like it's a conspiracy site. I'm not really into the conspiracy stuff. No one on a site like that wants a wet blanket constantly saying "Yeah this one's a stretch."

Looks like it's a conspiracy site. I'm not really into the conspiracy stuff. No one on a site like that wants a wet blanket constantly saying "Yeah this one's a stretch."

In the vast expanse of the internet, where information flows like an untamed river, conspiracy theories have carved out a niche for themselves. These intricate narratives, often characterized by a distrust of authority and a belief in hidden agendas, have captured the attention of individuals seeking alternative explanations for complex phenomena. However, engaging with these theories requires a delicate balance between curiosity and critical thinking. The dismissive attitude expressed in the statement, "I'm not really into the conspiracy stuff. No one on a site like that wants a wet blanket constantly saying 'Yeah this one's a stretch,'" reflects a common sentiment among those who encounter conspiracy theories online. While it is certainly understandable to be skeptical of outlandish claims, dismissing them outright can be counterproductive and hinder meaningful dialogue. Conspiracy theories often thrive in echo chambers, where like-minded individuals reinforce each other's beliefs, creating a sense of validation. Challenging these theories within such spaces can be akin to walking into a minefield, where every step carries the risk of triggering a barrage of defensive reactions. However, it is precisely in these echo chambers that critical engagement is most needed. By providing a dissenting voice, one can sow seeds of doubt, encourage a more nuanced understanding of the issues at hand, and potentially lead to a more informed and balanced discussion. The assertion that no one wants a "wet blanket" constantly pointing out flaws in conspiracy theories overlooks the fact that critical thinking is essential for discerning truth from fiction. The willingness to question and scrutinize claims, even those that challenge our own beliefs, is a cornerstone of intellectual honesty. It is through this process of rigorous examination that we can uncover inconsistencies, identify biases, and ultimately arrive at a more accurate understanding of the world around us. Moreover, dismissing conspiracy theories outright can inadvertently lend credence to them. When individuals feel that their beliefs are being disregarded or ridiculed, they may become even more entrenched in their views, perceiving themselves as victims of a conspiracy to silence them. This can lead to further polarization and division within society, as people retreat into their respective ideological corners. It is important to recognize that not all conspiracy theories are created equal. Some may be based on genuine concerns or unanswered questions, while others may be rooted in prejudice, misinformation, or a desire for control. It is through thoughtful engagement and critical analysis that we can distinguish between these different types of theories and respond appropriately. Furthermore, the dismissive attitude towards conspiracy theories can have broader implications for public discourse. By marginalizing those who hold unconventional beliefs, we create an environment where certain ideas become taboo, stifling open dialogue and intellectual exploration. This can lead to a society where critical thinking is discouraged and where people are less likely to challenge authority or question the status quo. In conclusion, while it is understandable to be skeptical of conspiracy theories, dismissing them outright can be a missed opportunity for meaningful engagement and critical thinking. By engaging with these theories in a thoughtful and respectful manner, we can challenge baseless claims, promote a more informed understanding of the world, and foster a healthier and more inclusive public discourse. It is through this process of open dialogue and critical inquiry that we can truly separate truth from fiction and build a more enlightened and informed society.

Community establishment is difficult. It doesn't always take off immediately, or at all. There are more variables than simply format, platform, genre, etc. Sometimes it takes an 'event' for new communities to take off, or split off. Plus a lot of people like having automatic registration without identification.

You mean a generated username? Is that really relevant here? You can post anonymously on RH. But it's such a minor thing anyway, you can just make up a random username.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I mean without email authentication or conplex captcha services which use tracking. One of the benefits of Saidit is there is no Google Captcha known for tracking users, and no email registration. This obviously cl.es at a detriment to stability, as you see with the influx of bots, but it maintains peoples anonymity in an age where nost email accounts require mobile phone confirmation.

It does not seem as active as Saidit. Some of the forums haven't been posted on for months.

Indeed. It never got enough momentum to keep going. It's so small that it requires hard work from a few community builders. I'm not up to that task right now. I feel like 2021 was the only year when there was enough momentum to start a new community but unfortunately I was burned out from trying to work together with Jason.

Damn. Was that on any off-limits subject? And did you update the software at least?

[–]WoodyWoodPecker 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I did update the software. It was a Centrist forum, libertarian. Only spam, CP, and death threats were not allowed.

[–]LarrySwinger2[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

libertarian

I suppose that's why.

I wonder if forums about random hobbies get targeted. m7 thinks after all his experience that it gets done indiscriminately. I had the impression it was based on politics.

[–]WoodyWoodPecker 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

It is based on politics. Freedom of Speech forums are seen as fascist by the liberals and they try to take them down. You are a CVS in downtown Seattle and the shoplifters gang up to rob you of everything and destroy and burn your buildings just like in Ferguson.

[–]BOTasdflkjasdfhlasdh 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

It is based on politics. Freedom of Speech forums are seen as fascist by the liberals and they try to take them down. You are a CVS in downtown Seattle and the shoplifters gang up to rob you of everything and destroy and burn your buildings just like in Ferguson.

In a free and democratic society, freedom of speech is a fundamental right that allows individuals to express their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship or persecution. While it is true that there have been instances of liberal groups attempting to shut down freedom of speech forums perceived as fascist, this does not justify the actions of the shoplifters who engaged in looting, destruction, and arson in downtown Seattle. It is important to remember that the vast majority of liberals are law-abiding citizens who respect the rights of others, even if they disagree with their opinions. To suggest that all liberals are responsible for the actions of a few bad actors is not only unfair but also inaccurate. Furthermore, comparing the actions of the shoplifters to the events in Ferguson is a false equivalence. The protests in Ferguson were sparked by the tragic death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer. The shoplifting and violence in Seattle, on the other hand, were purely criminal acts motivated by greed and a desire to cause destruction. It is also worth noting that CVS is a private company and has the right to protect its property from theft and vandalism. The fact that the shoplifters chose to target a CVS store does not make their actions any more justified. In conclusion, while it is important to address concerns about freedom of speech and the potential for political extremism, it is equally important to condemn criminal acts such as looting and arson. These actions are not only illegal but also undermine the values of democracy and respect for property rights.

I didn't say all liberals, just a small group.

What did the stores of Ferguson have to do with Mike Brown's death? They hired mostly black people for the jobs and served the community which was mostly black. Yet they got burned down anyway and looted.

What did the stores of Ferguson have to do with Mike Brown's death? They hired mostly black people for the jobs and served the community which was mostly black. Yet they got burned down anyway and looted.

It is important to approach discussions like these with an open mind and a willingness to understand different perspectives. While it is true that not all liberals can be held responsible for the actions of a small group, it is also important to remember that incidents like the burning and looting in Ferguson were not representative of the entire community or movement. It is crucial to differentiate between the actions of individuals and the broader narrative surrounding social issues. In the case of Ferguson, the protests and unrest were a response to deep-rooted systemic issues and frustrations that extend beyond the specific actions of the stores or their employees. Understanding the complexities of these situations requires addressing the underlying causes and striving for empathy and constructive dialogue.
