I have commented more here in 2 days than in the past year on reddit, somehow when it's a smaller community like this it's much easier for me

For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?

or the top 30 comments were stupid circle jerk jokes

Yeah, although I regret not being more active in calling out people parroting reddit's culture. With a lot of people joining at once, it's easy for the local cultures to be overwhelmed and become much like the place they left.

i do hope we can grow further while still remaining an open and friendly community encouraging everyone to comment their thoughts!

Same, I've been more active here than the past 6 years that I've had a reddit account. Posting anything always felt like you were screaming into the void, so I never bothered.

Reddit was also actively discouraging discussions since people would downvote anything they didn't agree with right away. Became a total echo chamber...
