I made 2 separate posts into 2 relatively dead communities, and despite getting a decent amount of traction (relative), the first 2 comments in each were 100% negative towards the content.
None of the commenters had ever posted content to the respective communities.
Content deleted: c’ya!
IMO - I find it quiet here, on the other hand I censor myself and try not to respond for just responding. Mostly because I don’t want the place turning like Reddit. Secondly I get sick of the internet knowing so much, so the less I comment the better.
So it’s a bit of a two sided issue, not sure if others feel the same.
I also feel I haven’t mastered my settings to see the right stuff yet.
To find the right stuff, I subscribe to non-political and non-tech communities, then browse “subscribed” by “new”.

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they’re not the focus.
