Seems like we're down to roughly 40 contributors now, down over half, by my estimate. That's just me eyeballing.

As far as I know, nobody has yet heard from M7, it's been 18 days now.

And at this point I feel I kinda have to be on reddit for stonks and crypto. It's nice the app doesn't suck any more. And you can earn crypto there now from posting.

Still, got all those extreme left wingers and shitty mods, but with the influx of investors, who tend to have conservative values, it's bringing some balance back.

All in all, this seems terrible for Saidit.

Saidit just simply doesn't have good user engagement. It's not big enough to get big or stay big.

High numbers of bots posting and upvoting content to front page... check

Low numbers of new legitimate posts... check

Low numbers of votes on legitimate posts... check

Low numbers of comments... check

A few loudmouths (anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, muh freedums) poisoning the well and bullying the comments sections... check

Probably nowhere to go but down. I only spend a few minutes a week at this site now.

I believe it's the vaxxers and maskers doing the poisoning.

As for user engagement, it would be far better if not for the acts of certain saidit admins. "Commenter flight" from abuse and insanity is a real phenomenon.
