Reddit has killed internet discussion forums. I've never liked Reddit. Before Reddit, it was common for webmasters to host their own internet forums. In the 80s and 90s with BBS (Bulletin Board Systems), web hosts would host internet forums with their phone modem and you had to dial-in to the forum's phone number in order to connect.
The difficulty with hosting your own forum is that you have to learn how to code. And then you need a way to get your forum indexed on search engines (Google being the largest one) and advertise your forum so that the target audience knows that it exists. Advertising your forum on other forums usually gets you banned from that forum for "spam."
Why do you think the left is obsessed with de-platforming the right? They want to make it difficult for the target audience to find these kinds of communities.
As someone who has hosted my own business site, which doesn't contain any controversial content, you have to learn how to do SEO (search engine optimization). Which is difficult enough as it is to get right. And if your content is controversial, Google's algorithm might nerf you.
Those who prefer to de-platform do so because they know they can't win the argument.
Media is quick to denigrate anything that is not 'approved' messaging as 'hate', when a lot of the material is simply facts and figures with no editorial.
It's really hard to accuse a dataset of 'hate', but in their minds it somehow is.
Don't forget the platform specific "culture" nudges and shared culture that gets diluted among all from the top (namely the chans).
My favourite was when they banned /pol/ memes from KiA and made announcements with /pol/ memes, completely ignorant to the origin and genesis of their own culture!
The moar things change, I guess.
I study this as a hobby so let's nerd out and deepdive on this.
I never went on reddit except for metacanada and would not have opened an account to post and comment if it had remained on reddit. This will take time to take off but it's the right thing to do. Fuck reddit and their fascist leftist censorship and open racism towards whites.
Remember that the_donald was the biggest subreddit and they censored it, quarantined it, blocked all posting for months and deleted it. Same thing would have happened to metacanada so better get a head start and grow with the other .win domains.
Its summer time dude. I betcha the MetaCanada base is busy doing summer time stuff with their friends and family instead of being a useless waste of space on the internet.
Nah, all we have to do is contribute and post, people will come.
Metacanada was never about the users, it was about the lurkers and those lurkers now have nothing but r/canada in their lives at the moment and TOmaplelaughs is the only interesting commenter there right now, and even he's getting shit on.
This sub is 3-ish weeks old. So far there's been the predictable Nationalist douchebags and metacanada2 retards trying to use the jump to get back in and dominate things which turned people off on omega as much as it did on meta but that shit never lasts.
The sub's fine. Stop thinking in terms of karma and upvotes. Just make quality posts and quality comments. Omega can be bigger than meta ever was.
Not in the first 3 weeks though. That's insane.
For sure... this place might be quiet but it will get better, and it's miles better than posting on a site where thoughts get silenced if they are too controversial for fragile reddit minds.
The crowd of degenerates over here is way more tolerable and interesting than the crowd of hiveminded cucks over there.
I spent my first week just poking around and blah blah, and I know internet points are fake and gay, but as an experiment I tried to get my post/comment karma to combined 2000 with as close of a 1:1 ratio, and I was only off by less than 50 votes.
I think if we all do this, that's the simple foundation. The content will do all of the work.
u/woodenboatguy lol when am I gonna start making predictions again? :P
I'm exclusively on the phone and, to protect my data and block ads through my browser, never download any shit apps . This site works better than bs reddit did in my browser.

Give it some time. Fag.

It takes a while for the user base to figure itnout, before you know it we will be getting brigaded by commies, fags and trannies

Porn. Lots and lots of quality porn is how you grow an internet site.
I have a webcam
I have mayo and a hamster. O, wrong thread. Sorry.

stop being a bunch of fragile white faggots would be a good start
trying to fagtag?
I cant even post memes without getting banned/muted on Reddit. Theres no where else to go.
It'll liven up if a proper app is written for .win sites. I'm a phone guy almost exclusively now, and this new site is a bit clunky at times.
