Thoughts on alternative sites
5 years ago
I saw someone over on twitter talking about how exoduses from here don’t really work and that the way the site is run needs to really be fixed, which I never thought about with people leaving.
And I guess that’s why those sites tend to remain dead, people use them as more of a secondary place, And maybe having their activity on there dependent on the activity that they get.
If that makes sense.
I don’t think secondary is the right word, but I can’t think of what the right one would be.
Anyway I think any alternative site is gonna get instantly popular or anyone’s gonna get a whole lot of activity right away and if you really want to move from this place, everyone needs to put effort into building a new community.
My brain’s not working with words so I might edit this later

Someone I follow once called Weasyl a "refugee site", as it accommodates mostly the people running from other sites, like DA and FA and it seems that this statement is very much true.
