So it seems, if I may be so bold, that we have come full circle.
Pie diaries may still exist because of other people allowing dKos to have content that some believe is pointless or it offends them.
Sort of a one hand clapping thing.
And as I have no intention of putting any effort in this diary into thoughts any deeper than stating the painfully obvious. And as many other dKos members have already stated in greater eloquence and better speling anything that I would be likely to write, I believe this diary is indeed a waste of space. Here's why:
- Users have a limited attention. While with one diary this will make no difference, if it becomes too much of a habit it will become significant.
- Diaries on the front page get the most attention. While it is relatively painless to find diaries that are somewhat older than this, those who do tend to consider the discussion closed to further comments as few are likely to read them that haven't already.
- dKos is a political site, not a general interest one, and it is valid to reasonably question whether a series of diaries or diarists are being constructive to a political cause and whether they are too much of a magnet for trolls.
- The overall makeup of diaries and posters to some extent reflects the overall reputation of dKos to outsiders and newcomers.
- If you have a problem with ads or ad policies it helps to make such a case reasonably, calmly and with few or no thinly veiled references to the apocolypse.
- If you have a problem with diaries or posters it helps to make such a case reasonably, calmly and with few or no thinly veiled references to the apocolypse.
- The meaning of life is 42
Beautiful. So if it doesn't bother anyone too much I'm off to do things that have nothing to do with pie, and little to do with soft porn.
