i miss the golden days of wasteof. i can't provide an exact pinpoint of when that was, but it was probably during 2022. the thing is that i used to like almost every single post in my feed. that is most certainly not the case anymore. 80% of my feed is filled with bots, repost chains, spam, wars about random stuff, fighting, and more. it's honestly not pleasant at all trying to use wasteof with all that is happening on here. there are people that have made 60 posts in the past two days and have filled 32 pages of posts THIS YEAR alone. i make 60 posts in 2 months. i've been used wasteof for over 2 years on this account and i only have 52 pages of posts. this is not okay, and it needs to stop. along with this, think about it from the perspective of admins/mods. they have to deal with moderating everything i discussed earlier. they have to deal with the spam of accounts created just for the purpose of stat boosting, which against the rules. walk a mile in their shoes. think about them the next time before you start spamming, making repost chains, or really doing anything on here.

I've been feeling sort of the same way, but I do think there's ups and downs to the community. There are dry periods (like now) where things aren't super fun, and there are fun times when something exciting happens (new version of wasteof comes out, mobile app, fun question or project happens, or even new users joining).

We’ve been saying it’s peaked for quite a while. We’re just going through a boring period right now. Almost all of the OG users are still here, and I think it will only go downhill when a large amount of them leave.

I follow basically every current or formerly active user on the site (almost 1000 people). If I filter out the few spammers I don’t really see any big difference over anything recent before the spam. Is there a general change over time? Maybe, but I can’t tell
