Agreed. However, It has taken a solid 8-12 months to get discussion going on saidit. The only way ruqqus will increase is if we kill the saidit group which I really don't want to do without good reason. Maybe I will chat with my fellow mods and consider a 30 day slow move over to ruqqus. Even though we have more in depth conversation here we are lacking new blood. Debate and outside input was always the point of DAR so under the right circumstances I would consider a full time move to ruqqus. I wish we had a better option though. Ruqqus is just as susceptible to censorship over the long run. Even though the admin on saidit have been dismissive of us they haven't sent any indication that they want to get rid of us.

I know, it's a risky thing. DAR has been a great community I've leaned on for resources and conversation since the Reddit days and would hate to see it die. But on the other hand, if we DON'T move, active participation will probably continue to decline or stagnate anyway. It's a difficult situation.

That is true, but so is everywhere really.

Even though the admin on saidit have been dismissive of us they haven't sent any indication that they want to get rid of us.

I've seen some hints of explicit bias against us. Magnora has in the past said and done things that I feel could indicate a bias against us, and Amelia has on many occasions said things that worry me when it comes to our sub and its peers (however he also runs s/Corporatism and a few other such subs). The removal from all thing is worrying as well, but that's been in effect for quite a while.

Also, sorry for the very late reply. Been busy the past few days, not to mention that, if this post didn't already indicate, I've been moving away from Saidit for various reasons.
