Is it me, or is this website rather inactive?

Hi, I'm Keal, and as a new member of this community, I'm wondering how active this place is. I am relatively on most of the time and I really only see 3 members active at all.

Yes, it goes through periods where it's very quiet. I much prefer that though because despite how mad and stupid most of us are here there's more of a sense of community than the larger sites. I've come to despise places like Reddit and even Wikipedia which are so large they have to deal with factional infighting, targeted harassment and politically motivated selective editing.

I don't use Reddit that much because it seems a bit confusing. Wikipedia is also more confusing. The GUI and stuff like that kill my brain. Anyway, I think I did saw a debate created 20 days ago, and the latest arguments/claims on it were 4 days young.

Yeah, Reddit isn't too bad, but Wikipedia can be very confusing. Both sites are also loaded with special interest groups. You kind of expect that on Reddit, and at least there's a wide variety of cults. But Wikipedia is significantly more sinister because groups of editors there are taking advantage of its identity as an encyclopaedia to push right wing political propaganda.

it's not you. burrito explained the gist of this pretty well. i'll just add that if you post up a debate people will usually come around and comment. might not be substantive or interesting, but we'll come. so you can generate your own hubbub if you want.

For it seems to me, the "members active" panel has 3 people daily. but, you might live in another country so times might be different.
