    It’s not dying. It’s smaller for sure but a social network doesn’t need to be big or have a ludicrous number of users to be healthy. Many of the posts I’ve made have gotten 10x more engagement than equivalent posts on Reddit simply because there’s less for it to get lost among.

    Personal opinion, but I think generally the users here are nicer and more chill than Reddit. Again, simply because the sheer number of trolls is lower and I don’t think bother as much when there’s less people to piss off

      That was my experience for a while. Then recently I got blocked by someone who kept downvoting me and getting mad because I didn’t think “kill all republicans” was a healthy way of thinking.

      So…I guess like all social media it depends on where you go and with whom you engage.

        I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.

        You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You’re suprised people got mad at you?
