It's about the American dollar continuing to lose it's status as the world's standard currency. It's bad for the US and good for China, we'll see whether it's bad for the world generally.
This is them closing another loophole that allowed people to see past Reddit's censorship and tanking the open internet nature of the platform once and for all. Reddit has become a walled garden information silo with biased admins unfairly dishing out permanent censorship with no recourse to review or recover what was censored. Fuck Reddit. The Digg 2.0 launch can't come soon enough.
Sadly the country is too interconnected for that to work. Red counties in blue states and vice versa. States that rely on other states for vital resources and so on. If there were another Civil War maybe that could force a split but otherwise we're stuck with each other.
There's one simple way to boost traffic that I've run by Cicero which he refuses to do on principle I guess. This site has thousands of lapsed users, many from years back that may not even remember signing up. My recommendation to Cicero was that he send out an email to all members, like a digest of some highlighted recent posts and showing off the app availability just as a reminder to people to come check out the site again.
That'd instantly boost activity by at least a few hundred users without having to even worry about onboarding new ones. The email wouldn't have to be a regular thing, heck it could be one time or just something sent out when/if traffic gets too low for too long. Still boss man doesn't like the idea so that's out I guess.
The other realistic option is advertising. Multichannel, throw out ads wherever it's possible to cheaply reach many people. Like maybe sponsoring small Youtubers, nothing expensive, just the type that'd take a tiny bit of cash (or whatever perk Cicero can dream up) to big-up the site in their vids for a few.
Then there's the dark pattern way of building traffic (the way Reddit did it initially before Digg imploded) which is to pay one of those traffic spoofing companies that'll load up the site with a lot of real-looking and sounding users temporarily. This eliminates the biggest road block to user growth which is the empty restaurant problem. If one looks through the Reddit Alternatives sub over there a constant ask from people is that they want a site with a high active user base site. This is self defeating since Reddit has all the users, no alternative will ever rise up because they first have to acquire a bunch of users who are already on Reddit and not leaving for the most part. That's why Lemmy gets so much traction there despite most who've tried it finding it to be just as bad as Reddit in some ways or worse. Lemmy has a big active (ish) user base which is what most people want to see when coming upon a forum for the first time. They want to come to a raging party not spend the time and effort it takes to throw the raging party, fake users achieves that. As organic traffic rises you then taper off the paid/fake users until you're left with just the organic users. Raging party achieved. This is how some big platforms have gotten over the adoption hurdle.
If you want to hate anything to do with AI do you mate. But don't leave the AI tag unblocked and post in an AIvideo sub about it.

I thought S1 was really good. I never watched the Anime because I hate the art style so it was a fun world to check out as a newbie.

It's all about the correct rectum to keyboard positioning. Then air pressure.

You know Data's puffing that cellular peptide Wedding Cake. You have to chief that.
TLDW: Reddit plays host to a Government-run manufactured consensus operation run by an Airforce unit that does shady cyber stuff.
No idea, I don't have an invite and haven't checked out the site yet. I'm just hoping it pulls people off the Redds.
