When I came here years ago, /b/ was the most active board. The site was really, really slow, but it was still evident that there were more than like 3 guys here. In Fall 2023, the main board picked up a bit, and there was a lot of activity there, particularly regarding Palestine. I started posting over there more, and somehow, mysteriously, the activity on /b/ gradually dissipated… which is weird, because /b/ already had activity even before I got here. /leftypol/'s activity seems to have dissipated even more.
Now /b/ is slow as fuck. The main board is slow as fuck. The chat, which used to have a good bit of activity, rarely has more than one message per day. The overboard moves at a slower speed than /b/ by itself used to. What the fuck happened?

Btw, once upon a time I tried to post a lot of threads but they got removed or got post-merged into other threads by mods

I can only speak for myself, but I personally grew out of /b/'s something like 17 years ago. I've never cared much for /b/ on any image board since then, and the only reason I'm replying to this thread is because I saw it on the overboard. I would say say the same expected thing happened that happens to every niche alternative image board: if you don't attract new users then you're destined to shrink and eventually die. It's an unrealistic expectation to assume that whatever comprises your community at a given moment is always going to be the same. People stop posting for all sorts of reasons you can't control and they need to be replaced.

>>159188Yeah, there are long stretches where it seems like there's almost no coherent conversation here, but there will still be weird incoherent stuff like that.
