And then have no activity in them. Not quite sure why this is happening, is it power hungry idiots thinking if I make fifty magazines, maybe one will be popular?
Do people assume if they create a magazine, it becomes active as if by magic?
Or are people thinking this is similar to a new game of Pokémon, and they have to make all the magazines?
I find it baffling that those who have created many magazines are not active.
It makes me not want to post in those subs. It’s as if I was working for someone else. If you have no interest in a subject to the point that you have nothing to say about it then don’t take the admin position in the first place.
There are more than 500 people registered to /m/interestingasfuck, with zero post, nothing, absolutely nothing posted there. So don’t say that this kind of behavior is for facilitating the experience. It is to gather virtual points of fame. They create it because they think it’s gonna get big, not out of interest or to facilitate anything. I don’t want this kind of person to moderate the subs I like.
I thought about trying to make one but realized I despise responsibility.
Only those who feel obliged to act responsibly despise responsibility.
That’s a pleasant compliment lol
I did post to m/fountainpens precisely because it was there, so it kind of is a bit of a “build and hope they come” situation. I just wish these people would just bother to actually build the community. A welcome post. Some articles. Anything!
