Why is there so little traffic on this website. It looks exactly like reddit and it's dedicated to free speech, you'd think with all the bans at least some of the refugees would migrate.

Barely any subs are active and since the site is user content driven it makes using it boring as sheit. All the censored subs on reddit are barely active here so there's barely any point of being on them. I feel like if you advertised this site more it would get way more people on it. Also how do you niggas pay for upkeep? If it's a reddit clone I doubt you'd get advertisers interested. Peace.

A related question is what is Reddit's actual user count, if you drop the multiples and the AI accounts there for pushing agendas? How many actual honest-to-God humans are there on Reddit?

Was going to make that point too. I had 7 messages on Saidit while I was at the movies. On Reddit some days I'd write a hundred comments and get no replies.

I probably still have 3200 unread messages on my reddit account that ended in 2015.

Maybe it was just me.

Oof, lol.

Consider the possibility that people do come here, look around, say "What a bunch of assholes!," and then leave.

Even worse, consider the possibility that people do come here, look around, say "What a bunch of assholes!," and then think "I've found my people."

Okay, that would be worse. But it's probably mainly paid disruption trolls, like those claiming to be flat earth believers. Make the experience of a site unpleasant enough and smart people depart.

I really doubt the most annoying people here are paid unless you mean other sites paid then to leave and come here instead.

There's just a lot of low level petty bitching, paranoia and cliqueyness when you first come.

I remember when GC first came over and guys were seriously arguing if they couldn't call them all sluts in the comments without being banned then the sub shouldn't be on s/ all, then they started sealioning.

It might be funny for half an hour but then decent people won't stick around on the site.

Magnora advertises like a MF on Reddit. We get people too, but mostly they don't stay.

Barely any subs are active

You're trying to browse here like you do on Reddit and that doesn't work very well. Browse by all, new, or even look at the sitewide comments. Many subs are more of a categorization than things that stand alone.

Also how do you niggas pay for upkeep?

People donate and the server costs are very low.

advertisers

You want ads?

I think a lot went to .win site

Too many subs for the number of users; Sub activity is spread too thin.

Switch back to just 'all' sometimes and you'll catch most of the activity.

original title of 1984 was "The Last Man in Europe". There are less and less of us each day. Last one left turn out the lights.

Left wing fear of guilt by association.

See what happened when the parler accounts were leaked, everyone was called right wing and even nazis just for being having an account on a free speech site.

I dunno. But it is nice.

Reddit has a lot of robots and mods posting constantly. The website is ran by a handful of people.
