That's true. There are a lot of fringe types of users here that aren't interesting (weed, curries, conspiracy stuff, etc). General average Joe discussions aren't much here tbh.
I do enjoy privacy and Foss discussions, but another issue here is that alot of posts are either reposts by users, or bots. You can check that same post on Reddit and you will see a lot of comments around it. Some positive and others negative but still higher in numbers.
I never bother with "general" opting for the boring special interests I have like comic books and tech stuff, so I haven't looked for one, but do we not have a "the lounge" or "off topic" like every forum type thing in history? If not, we should totally make one I guess. If there is one, post in it a bunch and help it grow!
Are there people discussing comics or pro wrestling on here with any frequency?
Define frequency lol. [email protected] is the one I post in and seems to be the biggest so far. But come post stuff and help out!
