is it just me- or does this site feel different

[Yanderemenhera]

this isn't ment to be negative, but this site feels a lot different than it used to when i joined. i think it might be bc the post quee is gone and downvotes don't exist. it feels more unfiltered and more active bc people can post whenever they want without needing to wait 6 hours to get a reply to a post saying "hi" approved, and bc you don't need rep to to message anymore you can start chatting right away wich is nice. i Like this site more now tbh. but thats just me. how do you guys feel?

@Yanderemenhera It just feels lonelier..I've been here since early '24 and it just feels really desolate and I'm not seeing as many active users anymore...it's kinda sad actually

[Yanderemenhera]

i almost quit bc of post quee, when i first joined it honestly made the site boring, i do agree with you tho, i'd say 95% of all the profiles on here are inactive. it does feel pretty lonely and i feel like a lot of it boils down to this site being kinda not the funnist, and not very many people who aren't on switch would use this site when there's better ones out there, like discord

[Yanderemenhera]

i'm not sure if there's much we can do to really "fix" it, i believe that this is just how the site is, its not like our target demographic isn't small, basically only being teens who only own a switch. i think trying to get newer users and stuff would require things this site isn't capelible of, but i think stuff like no more post quee is a step tords making the site better. i do have hope for this site, but i highly doubt that this site will ever have more than 30 users that have been online and activity posting a week

Not just the site, but the users too

@YourAriesBestie I've noticed the change with users too.

@Yanderemenhera The site just feels, emptier, like what moonlit said- I didn't get to join at prime time cuz I was underaged but the site i still doing a well in a way

[YourAriesBestie]

@FROSKYRE_YT eh? I was referring to when I first joined compared to now

[Yanderemenhera]

when i first joined back during post quee, it just felt boring, and having so many features blocked with rep like not need to wait for your post to be approved made it feel like this site was pay to win, but with social credit instead of real money

[A Former User]

@YourAriesBestie I know just saying I noticed that users have changed-

[Yanderemenhera]

this site has had mostly users between 13-15 recently, and uh... younger ones too, but thats been delt with

Why aren't the visitors registering? We've gotta make it so they feel like they've gotta register somehow

[Yanderemenhera]

i've noticed less notifications actually, i used to be geting 25+ when i was away for a few hours, and now i'm getting like 5

[SupieStar4]

@YourAriesBestie I got a neat little idea that could help w/ that now that'll take me maybe like 2 weeks.
