Something that became very obvious to me when Shorts became so popular - the mega platforms have an endless supply of low quality content they can keep feeding you so long as you keep coming back. The actual good stuff should only last the typical person 30-60 minutes per day, if you spend longer than that, you're mostly looking at lazy slop.

So yeah the good stuff that does well on Reddit/X, also does well here. But there's less content so it's easier to feel like I "ran out", but in a good way. I ran out of low quality time wasting slop.

There’s been a ton of updates, and a lot of bugs

Now instead of a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation, it will be a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation AND destroy a bit more of the ecosystem.

TBH, the reply of "Dead internet theory" is starting to feel like a bot pattern matching on "bot talking to bot".

Like we get it.

That's what I'm struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can't think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.

I got hit by a word filter too. Each individual word was SFW but the combination could be interpreted as hateful (even though it wasn't in context). So they have some sort of intent-matching system that is poorly implemented, probably piping it through the cheapest haiku model they can access.
