I use both, and both have pluses and minuses. Both can also be in touch and out of touch. In general, the other board is a more selective and sophisticated place to interact although, as Lizzie says, it has been dispiriting lately, just with less trolls. Bigger though is not necessarily better. Moreover, as to advertising, the two sites are diametric opposites. This site's worst attribute is its advertising on steroids obnoxiousness. Even with the full phalanx of countermeasures, it is sometimes hard to stomach. The other site is not looking to make a profit and the ad assault is minimal. This is America. We still are allowed choices.
