You could say the same thing in general about posting on a forum in heavy decline & reddit.

I actually moved most of my China topic discussions to reddit, I just check in here from time to time to prop up the dead forum.

Reddit is garbage. Arranging posts and threads by upvotes is fascism. The internet was better in 2004 when I was 13.

It's true, reddit is terrible, but that doesn't mean SA doesn't have the problem of a significantly declining userbase and terrible moderation.

people have been saying this since before i first reg'd back in 2014, SA the way it's designed would be unreadable if it had even 5% of the users reddit does.

think of it like SA is juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust outside of the accretion disk of the super massive black hole at the center of the internet in a stable orbit.

The only other forum I use is a the rotting corpse of a Gamefaqs spinoff board from the 2000s that hits maybe 200 users at peak hours so lol @ anyone who thinks SA is in any real trouble.

Most (political) threads being weird echo chambers for weirdos certainly is a problem with SA. There absolutely still are enough users, but the decline from just a few years ago is very palpable.

Online discussion in 2020 has changed alot. If you have a small hobby and a very specific topic, the chance is you will find only reddit has an active sub that cover this topic. I also have found that for specific topics, youtube replies sometimes have informative comments, which is a shocking revealation.

Pompeo: you better restart buying farm product from King Trump's royal subjects.

Liu He: How about them Huawei sanctions?

Pompeo: No Huawei! Never! Here you can have some Hong Kong protesters instead. Put them in reeducation camps and we won't say anything.

Liu: We don't want HK teenagers. We will just wait for Sleepy Joe and deal with him.

So.....was it the salmon that spread it to 60 people via surface infection (implying that food is an infection vector), or was it just some dock workers and ship people who were infected? Because if it's the former, then hoo boy..... that is not good.

If the only time you ever heard about it was some random reddit post, then it was 200% fake. Being only 100% fake isn't nearly enough to stop the US from repeating it as fact every day for the rest or the year. If some protestor was actually veritably killed by the authorities there would be a street named after him in DC already.
