For most communities, especially some of the smaller ones, have posts that are only as recent as 2 months ago at best. I noticed that there is frequent activity on The big communities such as "chapotraphouse", "chat" and "news"... but that same frequency of activity isn't replicated on most of the other communities.

For communities like "movies and tv shows", it feels like visiting a ghost town.

Is activity for people here mostly off this site and elsewhere? Did I not get an invitation or something? It feels like, with regards to activities such as playing games or watching a movie, I see no signs of people on this site doing anything.

So why are most communities lacking in activity?

Haha, yeah sometimes it feels like I'm commenting then deleting just because I like the effort of thinking out something and writing it down, but I have no desire to communicate with others.

It happens on Reddit way more because the libs will steadfastly refuse to learn anything so there's no reason to comment because they'll clutch their pearls when you try and explain how the world actually is to them.

I was literally tempted to delete this because, do I want the massive social commitment of one or two people commenting on my comment? walter-shock
