Like, look at the comments. 0s and 1s abound. Tons of cool stuff is being posted without any discussion following it. I'm guilty as hell as not being as present as I want to be. I don't want this to become circlejerk central like /r/music. Anyone have any suggestions to improve user engagement?

Maybe it's uncouth to do this in this way, but this is an issue I think we need to address.

    Honestly, I don’t feel like I have much to add to the conversation. And generally someone else has already said it—much better than I could—when I get into the comments. This place makes me feel less alone, but. I tend to not speak up much. So I guess I’m one of the people you’re asking about.

    Reddit was such a toxic cesspool, I’m still starting comments and deleting them for fear of what my inbox will look like in an hour.
