Back in Splatoon 1 days I wasn't an active voice in this community, but I was using other forums a lot at the time. Being on a forum for Splatoon feels a lot more like home than Twitter in a way, even with all the things Twitter gets right. Twitter will always be valuable as a way to push content for the community in a way that this could never really replace though. I made Bamboozler Propaganda because of how Twitter's systems work and didn't spread it to r/Splatoon for the same reasons it wouldn't really make sense here to have a personalized thread.
People talk about "happenings in the competitive Splatoon community" on Twitter, but no matter how many people I followed I still felt like I never saw some discussions until I saw a take on a take on the issue. This fixes that whole algorithmic issue and just lets people talk.
I'm not sure how long this place is going to stay alive, but I hope it does for a while. I would actually check in here regularly and I think it would be a healthier relationship than Twitter. It needs some retrofitting with new systems like competitive calendars, but with Twitter becoming less and less comfortable to stay on and Discord never really being good for general community linkage, this would be a good option to have.
