    Maybe the new team is warming up to the forums? I noticed an active admin today so there's hope. Or maybe they were just lost 😉

    Maybe we need to offer them some cookies?

    I think it has a lot to do with how a subreddit is managed and the particular community. I've known a few great subreddits, and the MPQ one is well-run and rather positive in tone.

    Same here, I assume Discord/Reddit are less of a dumpsterfire like Twitter, but I'm not interested in going through those to find the info that should be here.
    Also, can the in-game news tell us which characters we need for what vault please?

    Generally speaking, having your official news outlets be on a platform owned/controlled by someone who isn't you is a recipe for a rugpull; generally you want to keep your players within your ecosystem. I'm sure whoever is doing the posting there is just naturally already there, so it's probably a human nature thing.

    While the "group think" thing may be true for some of the massive subreddits, there are a lot of useful and good smaller subreddits serving particular interests that are not like that at all.
