Re. replies.

Comparing to r/depression, their subreddit rules are so strict about replies, that the only ones you see are "I feel you." Not allowed to analyze, try to help, etc. Likely for the better.

So in practice, I think this site does with hearts what r/depression does despite replies.

I wonder if it can have the virality without interaction, though. Or will it simply end up with posts being replies with quotes. I don't know the history of r/depression, if it grew before the rules, or with the strict rules.

It feels very alone without replies. The rules make sense but this feels too impersonal.
