this is an excellent point. perhaps the slowness of the content here is helping those of us who've been on reddit forever and are used to just doom scrolling through endless content.
i spend less time here but I feel I get more direct 'value' when I do. it's more small business feel than condy nast breathing margins down the user community's throats(pre and post gold eras)

to the fediverse and beyond!
Yep! Great points!
Another big point is that it's a rejection of the profit motive, ie there's not even a "small business" feeling like you say for me, but a far more genuine feeling. Nobody has tried to sell me anything here yet.
