>>8633697Let me put it this way for you, anon, and I'm sure you'll understand it better with that.
/hlgg/ is the biggest thread on the board. It has a large chunk of moderation attention on it compared to the rest of the board. Even with that, it's a consistent issue that shitposters can fuck up the thread for a while and that meidos are slow to act on it.
Split threads, by that virtue, have far less meido attention. If even one faggot shows up and starts shitposting in them, they can and have gone on for hours and hours and hours, and fuck a place up entirely.
Splits are gambles. You gamble with them every time you see them. Sometimes there may not be a schizo that notices them, and sometimes there may be, and then the thread is fucked for the day.
I said this back when we first moved over here, so I'll say it again now in the hopes that you get what a lot of people feel about them. They can be good for dumping art, or organizing projects. I remember deadbeats organized a thing where they'd shrinepost for Mori on her birthday, that's an example of a decent thing you can see come from one of those, where they couldn't organize it here without disrupting the conversation a lot. But at the same time, it becomes way, way easier for schizophrenics to shit up the place, and if a meido isn't around that day, it becomes hell for them and they essentially lose a whole day, whereas this place only loses an hour or two.
I think the best understanding of them is the "Wagon Wheel" understanding of Hololive threads. /hlgg/ is the hub of the wheel, the center, and the focus that's always spinning, because it's about all of Hololive. Occasionally, if people want to do a longer-term project or just post art of their chuuba unrelated to any stream or discussion going on, you distribute the load down one of the spokes, or a split. Then, once that's done, the pressure is off of the spoke, and you come back to the hub with everyone else. But if you put too much pressure on one spoke, or stay in it for too long, that spoke isn't well-designed to handle long-term pressure, so it becomes prone to cracking, where just a small problem can rapidly overtake the entire structure, leading to a snapped spoke and a shit thread.
Does that make sense to you?
