I feel like Reddit is a hive mind where people feel forced to behave within the hivemind mentality out of fear of not being noticed or downvoted to hell

anyone who says anything that's remotely an 'unpopular opinion' is doomed to oblivion and that isn't the case on RSOF so long as you continue to bump your own thread - if you have an unpopular opinion you still have an equal representation as someone who has the most popular opinion

9/10 people on reddit have quadruple digit IQs as per what their mother told them.
and yes I can't help but think this is also the case

I do browse Reddit but I've never made a post there because I don't have an account (nor do I want one), there's a lot of decent stuff there but most of it (on both reddit pages - RS3 and OSRS) is just a bunch of memes. I guarantee if you go to either reddit front page there will be a meme with at least 1000 upvotes (I've seen as high as ~5500 on OSRS)

to be fair on the forums, your post can't get downvoted, as for it won't be noticed! Nice going JaGex Lost Woods numba 1, (NOT EE, Those scrubs are liars ;p)

Reddit wins because it's more active. There's more to read and more topics to engage with. The downvotes suck though but Reddit is unfortunately where everyone is, so to me, it beats RSOF on this reason alone despite its problems. Activity is important and RSOF gets very little of that.

RSOF has become increasingly boring because it has very little activity. I struggle to find topics to post on nowadays. Back when RSOF was in its prime, this wasn't a problem - it was thriving with posts.

Not only is RSOF almost dead, it's more annoying to use on a smaller device such as a smartphone. There's no app for it, so you're stuck with using the desktop website on your mobile device which works, but not very well. It loses even on convenience, so it's no surprise people don't want to use it.

I don't see it getting any better either. It will take someone at Jagex that really believes the forums can grow and stand a chance against giants like Reddit, Twitter and Facebook in order for there to be any hope of it getting better. .
