I never quite got the hang of this place but I know it meant a lot to people. One of those things I am glad exists even if it is not my thing. I liked the neo-livejournal vibes and some people did some really fantastic longform posting here.

I was naively hoping it could continue indefinitely as a kind of niche social media alternative, kind of like a latter-day metafilter (which has also weathered some rocky financials). Notably, they're moving to a non-profit structure right now.

Most good things in the world are the result of a handful of people doing selfless things because they felt like doing them, outside of any financial or material incentive, just because they cared about something. This was definitely that kind of good thing.
