What killed this site? Trump or Biden's policies? I hardly ever get replies and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this site is just really dead?

the web in general has gone down the crapper.

Sure seems to have. Kind of a reflection of our society at large.

As for the replies, note that new is flooded with far more posts than the number of people using saidit can respond to, and new commenting sites are springing up everyday.

I never see any (comment sites) but new posts seem to gain insane amounts of upvotes despite very little content.

Engagement numbers I've seen have a tiny fraction of viewers commenting, with a larger number only voting, and the vast majority watching or reading with no further interaction. That would vary a lot depending on the site and other factors, but more votes than comments is pretty normal.
