Familiar faces resurfacing is nice and only possible on a smaller sized platform. Or clicking someones profile only to see a post I previously saw or commemted on.

I'm on the fence.

Back in forums, it was pretty cool to see the usuals.

"Hey Mudbutt69, what's up ToeFetish, how are you Shoves_sharpies_there..." but then it often came like a extreme echo chamber. Or sometimes you see the same names and immediately upvote/downvote.

I always did like the 4chan approach, but that anonymousness just led to jerk behavior.

I dunno where I lean.
