      Yeah, all i want is it to be active enough. Having less users is a selling point to me. Using the internet way back in the day was the same way. You had to put effort in, and the people that are willing to put the effort in are less likely to trash the place.

      Was that 5% of total users or active daily/monthly users? I remember reading that site visits dropped around 8% and that most of the advertisers that left haven’t come back, so I’d imagine that probably hits hard as well.

      undefined> Close connections are more valuable than more connections.

      It depends. Close connections of subject matter experts when discussing technical topics? Sure. When doing general research or looking for alternate solutions for something, you need mass. The difficulty of onboarding users into a federated environment hinders this.
