When did this place start dying?
I used to use this website several years ago, it was never big but and now it really seems to be on life support. What happened?

Well for one thing the AI that runs in the background is trying to "friendly" the place up. I have three base modes of interaction here.
Non-serious, basically kidding around, jokes, mild sarcasm that sort of thing.
Serious advice or conversations about real life issues.
And more aggressive back and forth generally relating to the usual political issues.
It's the last which I suspect the site is trying to eliminate and the one which often generates the most stimulating conversations. Replies are hidden and ai generated warnings are issued when none are needed as far as I'm concerned. Most of the people I engage with can handle their sh1t on their own, and the onez who can't just block me anyway.
I feel the site will thrive more betterly if they just let the adults have their fun!

@GerOttman I agree it is boring

@GerOttman On that we agree. I might have just gotten done insulting you for your political views, but I'm not looking for a friendly place where everybody gets along if it's forced like that.
For me, where it started to go to hell is when Andrew decided that rather than get rid of people who are guilty of actual hate speech, he would force people to block them instead. If you're allowing Nazis on your website, it's a Nazi website.

@LordShadowfire But its by choice right? It's not like I've got a pickle to your head forcing you to insult me! I can handle mine, you can handle yours, what the h3ll leave us alone!
