The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.

The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only 'poster' is a 'news' bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).

At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the 'news' bot, there's next-to-nothing there.
