what the hell is going on...

with my feed? has everyone abandoned this site or are my settings just whacked? i can't seem to figure it out any more.

The admins seem to only care about their own visions of this place and seem to go out of their way to impose their wills upon the masses despite repeated complaints over certain things.

A minority asks for a down-vote icon and they get it.
A majority complain about title requirements, and it falls upon deaf ears.
An admin says he wants to consolidate thousands of groups to make navigation easier and now multiple admins spend hours doing it despite no one ever complaining about the overlaps.

Add in all the negative interactions, and weirdo posts and you have what seems to be a mass exodus of folks that might have otherwise stayed as contributing members.

Just because the enrollment numbers haven't taken a significant hit (que up the fake accounts for the trolls), that doesn't mean once prolific and well-liked members aren't fleeing and/or not contributing anymore.

Feeds have been a complete mess for a long time now, but no one seems to care around here..ive complained many times but it does no good
@Tminus6453 Same here. No amount of complaining work. This includes more than the feeds. I hate seeing the admins praised for doing a good job!

The place is on the decline. That's what's happening. 🙁

@carpediem lol... roger that. i've made a few friends here, but like most places, people seem to lose interest. might be time for a change.

Normal people don't log in as much as before myself included. At the same time, I log in and see some of the dumbest shit and ask myself, "wtf am I even doing here?"
Totally.

@boudinMan You know, I was thinking about a post asking people where else they go or are planning to go.

Or perhaps you just have too much time on your hands. Feel free to get out of the house and move around a bit.

@RedBaron feel free to buzz off.

The feed is fecked. Theres no understanding how it works or how to fix it.

I'm thinking the best plan, apart from just leaving the site altogether, is: Try to find one or two members who can carry on civil, intelligent conversation by direct message or, maybe even better, by email; and abandon the 'feed' that's so hacked apart & disjointed that there are no longer any threads to follow.
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@Really i agree and i’ve done that, but generally that is very short lived.
It's not just you. Many of us are upset with the feeds.

The way the feeds are set up now is total crap.

i know... i've seen others post about it, but sheesh, it seems to be getting worse. this place is getting to be no fun.

I agree! I do not need to see what my “friends” are commenting on. I only want to see their stories.

Seems it's happening to everyone. It's like a ghost town here for me now
JestAJester · 31-35, M

Are you in favor of paying minimum wage earning people enough of a living wage to support a family? Yes or no?
boudinMan · 61-69, M
@LordShadowfire i'm in favor of letting the market determine wages.
HikingMan · 51-55, M
@boudinMan I believe in letting people determine their own fate and an equitable pay structure that balance a company's financial security with the needs of it's employees. The truth is that the richest companies in the world have the poorest workers on average in the US and the world... There's only one reason for that. It's greed tethered to a lack of compassion.
