not really..

I was expecting more discussions about web tech and Switch-specific sites, which does happen a little, but mostly it's just off-topic chat.
The reason we're even running the service in the first place is to help people get online, and I can relate as a frequent user of the old DS browser though, so if people are getting use out of the site, that's still great.
Maybe what surprised me most is it kind of seems like Internet forums in general are out of style, so the expectations for how to write good on-topic content isn't super clear.

yeah it seems that all categories of conversation seem open to just post "lol" etc no real structure to anyones posts i guess the switch userbase is young enough to not know internet etiquette so much with todays social media being their education.

I'm not a mod but if you don't mind I'm going to give my input. BrowseDNS.net is a forum for the modding/coding community, but many people use it as a social media or dating app. I may be guilty of the social media part, but im not here for a relationship honestly. I think that the lack of on-topic discussion is pretty annoying, but I kind of understand. This Community wants a way to access the internet on switch, etc; and BrowseDNS is kind of a information site. But many people are drawn into the social aspect, and stay for off-topic discussion. This is just my thoughts on the matter.
What if- and hear me out- what if BrowseDNS wasn't a drama hellhole?
