I would say that in general people are less responsive than they were, not just here but on most sites. They seem less inclined to make connections, and many BBW dating sites and smaller sites have died as a consequence. People are more used to content and connections being delivered to them, rather than reaching out to get it.

first, thank you for keeping ff going, and doing the great work that you do!
the portion of your post which i quoted really resonated with me, i think you're right. i see the volume of meaningful engagement dropping a lot, and quickly, and it i think the "scroll of doom" mentality of big-tech social media sites is a big part of it. they provide a passive feed of stimulation and distraction, and cut down on actual meaningful interaction and discussion.
i find ff and feabie very, very different. just the presence of these forums, where you can engage in a topic back-and-forth over time is such a huge benefit. feabie just has the "scroll of doom." if you didn't see it in the last three hours, it doesn't exist.
long live ff!
