You are right though, that a lot of old power posters have either left or aren't posting as much.
That happens though, and it's good that we're seeing growth as the "vanguard" is stepping back. That means the general culture of the site has been defined and growth is slow enough that it won't suddenly shift anytime soon.
It’s very rare to find someone who can post that hard for an extended period of time without becoming an asshole about it. User churn is good in a lot of ways. People should be taking breaks as they deem it healthy.
Though keep in mind just because a user doesn’t post here, doesn’t mean the person themselves aren’t still here. After 7k comments I’m concerned about how much info I’ve posted, so I plan on not using this account anymore and using a new one. I know I’m not the only one, either.
me looking through four years of posting for opsec violations
Joke's on you a bunch of people already know where I live.
I'm actually a twink named Lube and I live on Liberal Mountain
There's way too much info on my account but I like my account and username
Uhhh so is everyone's friend on here reusing their usual username on this site?
I wonder how bad of an idea it would be to have an "opsec service" on here where you could request people to look into your account and see how opsec-fucked you are
Reusing usernames between sites is one of the main ways that people get doxxed on forums like this, just fyi
Yeahh my friend knows this they just enjoy having a unified internet presence
Idk, maybe I'll have to try doxxing my friend (without actually doxxing doxxing) and help to clean up their internet presence
your friend should use shampoo on the inside and scrub that terrible idea out of their brain. nobody cares except that person and some fucking freak who may one day decide to go to personal, intimate war with them.
embrace the serially pseudonymous internet
i hope your friend is at least using a password manager so their passwords are not also shared amongst websites.
Yeahh this friend has decent security practices (use of password manager, encryption, metadata deletion, lack of conventional social media at all lol, etc) otherwise but they really need to find the energy sometime to clean up their... "online footprint" and probably do need to get over that idea lol
I really do want to live in a world where people can be themselves if they want to without having to be prepared for some reactionary piece of shit hunting them down though
It seems like recycling online identities every few months would make finding and keeping friends more difficult
god I have 20k comments between a couple of accounts. you're reminding me I need to
every time i think i've been too excessive on here i just check out another users posts/comment totals
lol i can probably keep this account as primary a bit longer
Yeah, this is approximately my 420th account
based
I do that. Not sure why.
Can't become an asshole if you were already an asshole
it's called an anal fistual
Smh I'm not an asshole I just type lol in response to every comment
Lots of exceptions to the rule getting upset about this one lol
It has shifted a lot already. UlyssesT leaving allowed a lot more pro AI stuff to seep in.
no I meant the struggle session about if AI art is actually good because it lets disabled people draw or something. Which is like, yeah, but idk something about how people use AI art doesn’t make me think that’s it’s current social function (it’s what you’re saying, a tool against labor)
understandable!
