missing Frank gang represent deeper-sadness

considering how many relatively new accounts were involved with the recent meta discussions, i do think there are a lot of "power users*" who are still around under new usernames, but who maybe just don't see posting as being as central to their lives anymore, and/or who think the site's still worth engaging but don't feel as comfortable/welcome as they used to (wouldn't know anything about that though i just joined three months ago clueless)

but yeah i do think site culture issues have brought down activity quite a bit, sadly. still better than the vast majority of the rest of the internet, but yeah.

*i'd add that i prefer the term, idk, "active members of the community" or something to power user/poster since the latter feeds into the deeply weird microceleb personality cult stuff that's fueled a lot of the cliquishness here & the issues with giving passes to repeated bad actors.
