It actually is a ghost town. There’s so little engagement, and even the upvote-counts seemingly aren’t obfuscated, and are super low.

There’s also already a lot of conservative trolls who will flame for “MUH SPEECH” if you suggest that they’re an annoying conservative. “Hey man, I’m just asking the questions”. In a ghost town, they appear louder.

My theory is that people just don’t want to comment anymore. We all learned our lesson. If we comment, we just feed the AI beast. I’m not offering my insights and opinions so that you can scrape them.
