This place is actually still kinda tiny and very focused on Reddit right now, which is pretty much understandable. When I look at the list of subs, there's already subs for all sorts of things but the front page is very political and focused on the issue of censorship right now.

I've been attracted here mainly because I'm looking for a place free from the style of moderation and administration that we've all come to know and hate from Reddit, where people can just be who they are and say what they want without needing to constantly look over their shoulders, so to speak. And it looks like this place offers that.

I think the things that I'd like to see would just take time once this place settles more into its own groove. Niche subs: DC Comics, pro wrestling, odd movie fandoms like Alien or Hellraiser, odd random stuff like hmmm or cursed_images. I think that social media has largely burnt me out on politics and drama over the years and while I think it's good to be serious some of the time, it's never good to be serious all of the time. But I'm happy to stick around while this place goes through its "I just found out about this place from Reddit" phase to see where it goes. Besides, I just found out about this place from Reddit too.

I definitely see what you're saying. I think it's natural for us all to come over and share our experiences and frustrations with Reddit, but, like you, I'm hoping to settle down in some communities here.

I'm trying to do my part in that.

Yeah I'd like to do that too. I'm not really the kind of person to be a moderator so I don't think I'll be creating any subs soon but I'll gladly participate if they exist. I'm really just still looking around though, arrived here about 12 hours ago and I've scrolled around in hot and new once it twice but haven't joined done any deep exploring yet.

Where did you go? Why did you delete this account?

I was already starting to dislike my username, so I thought I'd just keep it simple and rather make a new account now while I still had like only four comments.

Oh, okay! Glad to see you are still around. I really was trying to figure out what could have happened so soon.
