Minds is where I could make enough to buy myself a cup of coffee doing & sharing exactly what I wanted myself, with no one else either interfering with the content or shitty taxes & regulations!
So I'll always be happy about that, and plan to check it out again later, I have an account with a history and followers. I do expect it to be a stale echo chamber at this point, but if/when we get the next part of the bull run that might change things...
Would be happy to try pulling people over here in collaboration with others, on platforms like Minds and Hive. I think its doable, but it will take a while, its probably about being very persistent but also non-toxic ;-)
I'm not implying you were that, of course, its just hard to disturb people when they're on their "home turf", even when its barren land...
You're right about the "home turf" dynamic. I certainly recall feeling that when I was a regular daily user.
I was hoping some of the relationships I had forged over there would be sufficient to get those users to check out SN. I was responsive to the comments on my post, but I haven't been persistent about hyping up Stacker News. I probably posted about it a few times when I first found it.

Largely, yes
