@kissane This was a great read. So many people in this thread are the embodiment of the problems listed. Signing up is confusing, especially on desktop. I bailed on signing up like twice, and people borderline insulting those who don't get it are part of the problem.
The lack of fun here is likely in part due to the high barrier to entry. If some of that is ironed out, there may be more people to find and more funny posts. Shitposting here feels like wearing sweatpants to a classy event.
