Watched this last night. July-ish of last year, I got rid of all mainstream social media, including reddit. Been hunting nice alternatives this year. Stuff that has good conversations without the insane data mining and ad bullshit. Landed on spacehey as a general social media substitute. And I remembered saidit being a thing a few years ago. Glad to try this out. Hope it isn't shit. Just want to keep up with certain topics and be able to ask questions about those topics.

There aren't too many people here, but I find that to be a feature. You can actually carry on a conversation with the smaller group without getting lost in mega-threads.

Fair enough. I do like that this site works the exact same as reddit move for move. I will miss the incredible variety of more active subs but. At some point, you gotta walk the walk rather than talk the talk. If people really want to throw their weight around as consumers, they have to fucking MOVE ON. I'll keep browsing reddit via rif but after that I need a substitute. I'm dropping reddit like a hot potato. Their app is garbage and I expect they'll get rid of the old website next.

Variety-wise, the adage around here is that if you wish there were more going on, you've gotta do it yourself. More people + more engagement = more interesting stuff to browse. This site is very DIY and reminds me of the early internet with its (almost) anything goes philosophy.

Yup I'm about that life. That's why I enjoy spacehey. It's literally just MySpace. You have to curate your own experience. Ppl gripe about it but it's one of the reasons it's a good experience. Can't just show up and have ready made content right in front of you.

Yeaaa there's a lot of that. But I've found a pretty good community to talk to and befriend. Lots of tech and nostalgia enthusiasts like me. Worse things than anime pfps anyway.

cool, I'll check it out. I was kinda hoping it would take off as a real life thing like myspace but idk if that's even possible in today's internet.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
