I'm new here, so I'd like to know if this project is growing steadily or not really catching on. It has a lot of potentioal imho, but I understand how hard it is to make people use "alternative" websites.

Discussions here seem to be more engaged and constructive. Most reddit comments are gargabe. For example, people just coming up with similar sounding phrases for some other comment, or writing musical lyrics.

Exactly. I've noticed people actually think before responding instead of just posting whatever half assed knee jerk reaction they think of first. The posts themselves are generally well thought out and lead to actual discussion as well instead of just being memes or whatever (not necessarily dunking on memes cuz they can be funny sometimes, but I believe they're a sometimes food).
