Similar Worlds Tribes

Has SW become really quiet these day, or have long term members just settled into like minded tribes and become insular. Not a judgement in any way, I am just being curious.

It's been on that path a while as near as I can tell. Perhaps the reputation type stuff is condensing many, but there are more than a few announcing their departure (although such announcements are usually worth less than the photons they generate to display)

@stound as much as people still need to be respectful, I think there are a small percentage that have a moral expectation this site will never be able to live up to. And some who claim to be open minded and even like certain forums, but then close down any discussion of same.

@Beetlejuice68 yeah, I suppose. I feel like I don't have the energy to wade into controversial things nor the desire to interact with the super banal, so I end up seeing almost nothing here. And any direction I try to lead is either pretty much unseen or no interaction, so I stop bothering with it

@stound I don’t get people who don’t tolerate small talk initially and expect expansive conversation from the get go as if you already know the person.

@Beetlejuice68 oh, I'm ok with small talk. I just don't care about it being morning or talking about coffee or some such every day.
