It feels like it’s dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn’t defederate and then left anyway when we did.
I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.
Is this just a illusion or is this really what’s happening. What is to be done?
personally, things feel bleak in the world.
when things feel bleak, i don’t feel like posting, i just feel like passively consuming
That’s real comrade, I get it
I was about to say something like this using way more words. Current events make it difficult to be online, even in one of the safest online spaces I’ve found.
