Welcome my friend. It is not so great as I had hoped when I first joined but we cannot use that fact to fuel complacency and return to reddit. It would be a great place if all the people who turned their backs on it just had the courage to be the first to post and not wait for others to make interesting posts. Do not be afraid to post because there is nothing like yours already posted. Be brave enough to bring the good conversation here. People will come out of the woodwork slowly and you will be the spark that started the fire.

I like to do an exercise where whenever I fell like posting something on reddit, I post it here instead or at least post it on both sites.

I would highly recommend the sub C_S_T. https://saidit.net/s/C_S_T/ It's sort of a backup of the much more popular reddit one but I like to think that it will be migrated entirely if people only had the courage to post here first rather than to reddit.

Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks man. I'm not a great poster, mostly a lurker. But i will do my best to stir some fire for discussion.

Agree.

It only takes a spark

to get a fire going

and soon all those around

can warm up in its glowing

from a song I was taught as a kid about a positive kind of fire, like you're talking about.

While the numbers aren't that great at the moment, that's the first step towards independence from the massive intellectual jail that reddit has become. I prefer to be among a few thousand posters who can say something meaningful than a few million posters who are passively joining shills, brigaders and the like.
