>It's not just haters, it's stagnation too.
Honestly, the site has been stagnating ever since >who gave this place to hiroshimoot. No real new features for nearly a decade (gonna be 10 years on sept. 21st btw) is gonna kill a site.

>All they've known is this cesspool of pointless spam and low effort bait, and think it's the norm.
perfectly encapsulates it. And with certain orgs having access to unhinged LLMs the signal to noise ratio is forever in the gutter.
