But we do want people here. We're extremely social creatures. Its natural we would want to recreate our virtual social spaces in a place that cannot be overrun by monetization. Keep trying! Water cuts through rock not with force but with persistence!
Eh, I'd rather only have people genuinely interested in exploring and sharing knowledge here. Makes it closer to the purer internet of old before "Web 2.0" came and fucked it up.
I don‘t feel like it myself, but feel free to try to get through to them of course. I do want more people here, but I‘m also ok with it not being that many and especially not all of the thick headed ones who need a billionaire to tell them what to think.
Slow growth is the key, there's probably some left in Reddit that needs more time before they get fed up, or new Reddit users that join and then end up here.
