The writing has been on the wall for a while, sites been bleeding users.

Looks like there's about 30 people left. You sure that has nothing to do with bans, because -- wild idea -- large sites with millions of members can absorb quite a few bans but we were rocking maybe a hundro contributing users a month ago.

Everyone was already browsing by s/all because we have more subs than users, but then some subs weren't allowed on all so basically nobody sees those.

Then it got to a point, speaking from personal experience, I can catch up logging in every few days. Then sometimes there wasn't anything in those periods. Less to read, less to write, even less to read, even less to write.

It wasn't shills, it wasn't the iron left, Saidit was moderated to death. Unintentionally of course.
