Squidboards

Like, if you look at how many posts people who have accounts dating back to Splat1 era Squidboards have that are also on the top reaction score list and the post counts of those who are from the modern era of Squidboards, it's WILDLY skewed. I'm on the top reaction score list with 166 posts currently and an account made in 2024, yet the person directly below me, from 2015, has 1,661 posts

My very watered down theory is that 1. "Liking" a post has become less "I am standing behind what this user says" and more of a "I see this and am positively acknowledging it" function, in accordance to how likes on modern social medias work, and 2. With such a small community, individual posts get more acknowledgement, since there just aren't that many in the the first place
