I'm trying to create an account on notebookcheck here, but the email activation link takes me to a page that says "An error has occurred" "Sorry, this section isn't available at this time."

Tried resending the activation link with the same problem.

If they're having trouble drowning you out with multiple posts and long walls of text containing insults covertly directed at you then they'll start a flame war in the hopes the thread will be locked and deleted.

I have a reddit account from gods know when. I see 1 positive comment or message on there for every 500 negative one's. It's still the same as it was a decade ago which is to say a place for neckbeards to try and force their opinion on people through a false sense of superiority. The bad thing is that there are people who think these paper pushing, pencil necked, zit faced, no load, puss popping keyboard warriors are anything but what they really are. Too afraid to be part of something bigger than themselves for a good reason so instead they joined reddit to be *THE* big thing for everybody. Reddit is a waste pit of shallow and narrow minded individuals. I think having or creating your own Forum Based on Threads created by Article Title. That would make it easily searchable and easy to respond to from others. Cheers!

I remember on ArsTechnica I had commented a few times on articles. Then on an article about a small hole in the Soyuz spacecraft I said that the Soyuz had a long history of reliability and wouldn't be surprised if it were sabotage by a competitor such as SpaceX or Blue Origin. My account was immediately banned and all posts deleted.

If they cannot ban your account, as in the forum is not under their immediate control, they tend to drown you out with multiple posts and typically go about ridiculing you and your posts.

Quote from: Admiral Snackbar on Yesterday at 15:15:36The initial bans were probably a case of military censorship. Because you have a Russian name and Reddit is a western platform. Only western propaganda is allowed on Reddit.

Yes, the Russian name of 'Warm-Standard1621' :)

Have you guys considered setting up your own forum? Sort of like what Techpowerup etc. has?

In 2026, I think it's become abundantly clear that you can't rely on big social media providers to maintain a community anymore...

I joined Reddit a decade ago, back then it was still decent and very usable. But now? It's trash. I think you missed the train on this one and joined or started this too late. It really went downhill like in the last 2 years.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any real alternative otherwise I'd of joined one by now.

So it's no big deal if this doesn't work out.

QuoteHave you guys thought about running a poll and finding out in what platform the readers would be more inclined to form a community around?

No : /

Reddit is an absolute cesspool. Tried to use it a couple times, and between entitled mods, nonsensical rules and it's users necessities to inject politics in everything I couldn't force myself to keep using it.

Happy to know it's not just us!

(Not happy that you had to go through that, though....)

I'm glad it's not just me. I signed up for an account recently to post on a topic and got shadowbanned for no good reason, despite trying to be helpful. Tried to appeal, no change, I can't seem to post on anything as now there is just a blanket ban. One of my posts that was still up there got reasonably popular, and then it asked me to cross-post that post to different communities, but every time I tried it gets immediately banned by reddit's filters.

Completely incomprehensible platform.

What might be the world's most popular forum appears to have rather hostile policies towards new users, with support basically unreachable and rules on what exactly newly created accounts can or can't do unclear at best.
