    Most of us know to expect this to stay another largely pointless, niche project with little broad impact.

    We’re not hitting 100k MAU, we’re not improving the internet, we’re not dethroning reddit. We’re just existing alongside them, in their shadow, with a slow front page of largely mid nonsense that sticks around for a couple days, with several communities’ comments mostly coming from 1-5 “power”-users.

    And people want it to stay that way.

      What does getting bigger actually accomplish? I’ve been through enough Eternal Summers to know it sucks to lose a place you like to the swarm of terminally online bootlickers who infest every place that actually has people they can rule over. I’m good

        I wouldn’t mind 100k monthly active users. Millions probably not, but a bit more activity would be nice to cover a few more niche topics
