Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
I was originally part of the “fuck the steam forums” because asshats would troll the forum to get steam emojis, which gave you some steam credit or something. So it was an incredible cesspool of shit.
But their last update made steam emojis worthless beyond being a extra status, and I think that’s making the forums more bearable.
Better mod tools. Better flagging of shit users. And maybe the steam forums can become a better place.
Because right now, if you want to talk to a fan of a indie game, you’re stuck finding some YouTube video comment or Reddit.
I’ve never used Steam forums but it must be really bad since you’d rather go to YouTube comments, which I honestly think is filled with the dumbest people on Earth.
