I definitely miss Jerboa. But the past month has already brought so much chaos to my internet use. What’s a little more?

Lol it’s seriously crazy how much less active this place felt a couple of weeks ago. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be someone who was here years ago.
This brings up a good question: Do we really want everyone we can get?
On one hand, it’d help flesh out fledgling communities and keep threads and feeds more active.
On the other hand, the more people who come here, the more likely we are to see lower-effort, lower-value, and even counterproductive content and comments.
There’s probably some magic number, an adoption level where communities thrive but are not watered down. I have no idea what that is, though.
That’s one thing Reddit doesn’t somehow grasp: They outsourced their brand experience a long time ago when they were late to building an app of their own. To me and many others, reddit definitely is reddit is fun. There’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.
