It's smaller, and so there is less temptation to scroll when most of the posts I see are the same posts I saw yesterday.

I like the niche linguistic rebels I meet here, and even though I fundamentally disagree with them ("politics" shouldn't refer to all human group decision, the oakframe is too cryptic for most people to adopt, and "th" is better than "þ"by a wide margin), I respect their willingness to step out of the language comfort zone. Not many people can do that.

Also, I like the idea of starting my own Reddit/Twitter/YouTube, so to speak :D

    Same here. Plus, there's no algorithm trying to suck you in. Anytime I make the rare visit to Reddit to check things like r/skyrimmods I have to actively avoid clicking on anything besides what I'm lookibg for, lest I waste the next hour scrolling and hating every minute of it
