    I was on Reddit for over 8 years, nearly entirely using Apollo. It was frustrating to arrive “late” to a thread and only see funny jokes, and have any comments buried if you bothered to make one. Here, it is nice to actually have a conversation with posters and maybe you might actually see them again someday.

    Maybe the difference between having a conversation at your favorite pub with good friends versus yelling at someone in the stands at a football stadium. It is nice to be seen and heard.

        I like the ability to talk to people not just be an invisible upvote or downvote. And honestly, I did very little voting because it was just a way to scroll mindlessly. Here, it feels like it matters.
