I thank you for taking the time to actually put more thought into your commentary on this subject. While you state it was quite unnecessary to add so much, it does make a difference. For places like Poal and Voat that support free speech, that only works if speech is actually used. This very post has been mostly one-liner or short replies until yours which just proved my point that discussion is not the norm on Poal. Even in more niche subs where people allegedly subscribe because they have a domain interest in that topic we see this same lack of dialog and depth of discussion. It's very weird to me since all the other sites I have been a part of fostered discussion, especially in the narrow interest subs. I miss that here. Anyway, thanks again for the more in depth response to my question. It feels more normal than the one-liners.
