It's not that is too complicated, it's the fact that there's no one here.

    It just gets boring arguing with the same 12 accounts. That said some of these people putting in a full days worth of work to keep the memes and other content flowing. They the real mvps

    Reddit wasn't much different. Even at the beginning there were accounts everyone recognized.

    Just do what I do. Block the people that post a crazy amount of things. Those people are probably just pulling from r/all/topalltime and reposting anyways so it's not like you're losing anything of value.

    You need to switch up how you view it. Go to

    • Hot
    • 6 hour
    • Scaled
    • Active

    That'll get you an hour or so depending on what instance you're on. Your instance decides what you see on All and Hot. That's why it is kind of important which instance you choose. If one gets too big, it controls what most people see.

    According to the recent stats, there are millions of people here every day. That means you're not seeing them.

    More or less yes for me too. Hot is my default, then Active. I also toggle both between All and Subscribed.

    I don't come here to lose hours usually, but the above is plenty for me.

    I only wish we had a good equivalent to /r/publicfreakout. I'm having to seek out protest videos elsewhere, and I refuse to go to reddit, and they don't seem as prolific as they did in 2020.

    I miss public freakout too. I miss the airplane videos of people being insane as well as the protest videos. Where are you finding protest videos away from reddit?

    Some get posted to bluesky, though many require you to be logged in to see them. I also keep checking woke.net every few weeks, which was great during 2020, but I think it's a zombie site now. Also youtube live, surprisingly, but you need to set your search parameters appropriately.

    I have seen links to facebook and instagram, but I won't use either of them if it makes me log in. Occasionally twitch also.

    The population here is like a tiny slice of what it is on reddit, there's no one here

    Treating it seriously, I think that people are interested in growth because:

    1. if we aren't growing, then due to attrition we are slowly dying
    2. people seem to want a little bit more content, especially about niche topics that currently we have to keep going back to Reddit for bc that's where it is at
    3. solving the problems inhibiting growth may make us better overall and our experiences here more enjoyable not only for new people but the existing userbase as well - so here growth is the diagnostic indicator of deeper phenomena

    So it is not to feed the advertising machine and stockholder valuation, but even with the profit factor removed there are others that remain.
