I understand this only because my husband still is looking at reddit. I had to have a talk with him as to why I am changing platforms, the point of not visiting a site during a protest, and how Lemmys and kbin need time to grow. He was looking at news and he said “well your site doesn’t have anything! It’s basically empty where am I supposed to go for discussion!”
I told him he needs to either just view the news sites directly and contribute, or just try to curb usage and allow the sites time to grow. Use your phones native news app for now, whatever it takes to not add to Reddits ad revenue and user count.

If this was reddit, you’d be smothered in replies asking why you haven’t left your husband yet.
I mean, there’s a lot of content here already.
Yeah it’s not the same endless dopamine drip feed conveyor belt that is Reddit, but there’s plenty of content to engage with.
Which sure as hell isn’t a bad thing!
