Forum: Why does this "community" suck so much? : Comment 8 of 28 | ANN.lu |
Posted by mark on 22-Feb-2003 18:19 GMT | I don't think the "users fight users" is any more of a problem than on other platforms (or in general, on sites devoted to other interests). First of all, it's hardly unsurprising to find debates on debate forums, and whilst it is sad when this degenerates into flaming, you get far more of this on sites like Slashdot, or plenty of newsgroups for example. There's plenty of real products and events which Slashdot has to talk about, and if anything that seems to be the cause of more arguments, not less.
I think the problem is more to do with the potential for different points of view, due to different, potentially competing products being available. Ten years ago there wasn't much to argue about within the Amiga community except things like which game or application was better; now you have PPC vs x86, emulation vs classic hardware and graphics card vs AGA. Similarly on Slashdot you have things like Windows vs Linux; on comp.sys.amiga.advocacy you have Amiga vs PC; on talk.atheism you have endless debates and arguments about whether God exists or not.
But the fighting between companies, either with other companies, developers or authors is a sad problem:( |
