Enjoy it. These things never last.
We might get lucky and enjoy another year of it.

Eh we're 3 years in to it and still going along just fine. I don't see us stopping anytime soon. In fact we're probably going to open some more websites soon.

I don't assume it will be your fault. You're doing quite well from what I can tell. I just think what we keep doing is equal to applying more band-aids.

I'm clearly rooting for you, I just observe the Reddit-model shelf life.

Thanks. That's fair. I think that's why building more sites is a good idea. Then if one site slowly tanks for whatever reason, we already have others on the shelf ready to start anew, perhaps with slightly different rules even to give it a fresh culture.

I think if we gradually developed like 5 forum websites each with differing purposes and unique cultures, and hosted by different server companies, we'd be nearly bulletproof.

I like to know more.
What kind of forums do you think about?
Another Tik-tok. Or Youtube?

Personally I am looking for an alternative for Medium, so I can write long articles with lots of pictures, and have discussions around it.
It would even be better if besides pictures, it would allow some interactive elements. For simulations for example. There are some page-design systems that are build that.
I think many problems today are caused by general misunderstanding of some physics, statistics, and other science.

Nice.

I really just mean various saidit-like sites with varying rules. For example I'm thinking of launching a new version of saidit with the rule of "no politics" so it develops a totally different culture.

Haha.. Just Cats, dogs, and other sweet animals:-)

Just giving ideas...
What about no logical fallacies?
That is hard, but more philosophical.
It is step one in my:
"How to investigate the truth"
It is a lot of work tough.

Yes that's another site idea, to do one that is very very serious about the pyramid of debate. Sort of a "hackernews for things that aren't just tech"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! Yes! As someone who wishes to create an apolitical space here, having an alternate forum would be great!

It would be even more interesting if we could use the same accounts to create a tiny ecosystem but I could see how that could muddy things a bit.

Glad you like the idea!

It'd be new accounts for a new site, but you could certainly register the same username on the new site if you got to it before anyone else :)

I think this comment indicates I deserve a response about these wild accusations cast against me.
