Are things just slow around here regarding lolcows and lolcow based activity right now, or is it just me?

I figure everything here is slower due to 4/5ths of the pre-shutdown userbase still being MIA or having to wait to make totally new accounts like me.

Been a few big things with Mermaids, kind of surprised they weren't put under Featured Content.
Few of the things happen within the last month
They are under investigation now by the Charity Commission
Susie Green resign
Lots of news reports about staff issues and Susie Green shitty leadership
Mermaids refuses to let staff see report on former chief amid ‘safe space’ fears https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...-let-staff-see-report-former-chief-amid-safe/
New CEO is a big fan of women getting beat up by troons in roller derby.

 
The "problem" is that #DropKiwiFarms made KF seem dangerous and hence the online place to be. Now all the zoomers will want to see for themselves what it's really about. For them it's like going to their first punk rock concert and seeing a moshpit for the first time. They might be too scared to mosh yet but it's still fascinating to them.

This is absolutely happening among the obvious heterodox, edgy, contrarian crowd who will immediately go and do the opposite if they are lectured and moralized to do something or not do something. Word that the site is actually up is just leaking out bit by bit across the web, and I've even seen some admissions of people who are the usual progressive anti kiwifarms types having came here for the first time just to see what the hell all the drama was about. Now I don't expect we'd retain many of them, and maybe you wouldn't want to anyways. But the Streisand effect is real and it's happening right here right now.
