MODERATORS
I was on the way out a couple of months before the API thing. The content had gotten stale and it was harder and harder to have honest conversations. Posts getting down voted - for every up vote there was a down vote no matter how much it changed. I made a post once that went somewhat viral and it was nothing but a toxic shit show. All I was doing was sharing a hardware mod - not asking for help or opinions. I had really grown tired of it. This migration to the Fediverse was well timed for me. Now have I gone back? Not intentional, like others have said looking for answers - not engagement.
I haven't "used" it in 8 years, but I will from time to time look at buildapcsales or gamedeals. No posting or logging in though.
Relay still works for me, same with Infinity. I'm maybe 50/50 right now. There's a lot of smaller communities that will be hard to grow here, but the big ones are just as good.
