Man, this hit home. I’ve felt that same frustration watching SN slow down, seeing promising stuff like territories struggle, and kinda just hoping something big would fix it. But you’re spot on: it’s not gonna happen top-down. We gotta build from the ground up.

The @grayruby approach works because he didn’t wait he just did it. That’s the playbook. Post about the weird stuff you love. Someone out there cares too. If even one person shows up, that’s the start of a micro-community.

Honestly, coin collecting and cichlids sound way more fun than another LN drama thread. Post that stuff. Make noise. SN’s small enough that one person can still shape a corner of it.
