yeah, it’s a bit of an uphill battle to create communities online with how centralized the internet has gotten, especially on a whole different platform than where most users congregate. it might be a reasonable concession to make.

though i’d hope new users can take up the task of generating content themselves, that’s what platforms like this are made for. best way to nurture a culture of posting and engaging is to post and engage, which there should be enough users for at this point i think. it’s a bit idealistic though, not an easy issue.

i don’t have a big stake since this is a community i don’t really take part in, but i will say when i see those bot posts that are just grabbing reddit posts and tossing them here i don’t really engage with them.

i feel compelled to comment on posts that were made with intention by a user that will actually see my input. it might add content but to me it seems like it would kind of be filler, less substantial than an actual poster making a thread.

i upgraded from the s7 to the s22 and i think its the perfect size. really marginally larger than my s7, getting something in a similar size was important to me and it really is just right.
