I've been thinking about this recently. When I took over this subverse, people seemed fairly enthusiastic for it. That's to be expected, because from their point of view, it was taking away a potential starting position from their SJW (boogeyman). I didn't take it to do that, though. I wanted to take something known for being a bad thing and turn it into a good thing. I like good things. I'm sick of hearing about how the world is shit and everyone is an SJW or if it's an SJW speaking then everyone is an evil MRA, or a misogynist or whatever's the pick of the day. I thought it would be nice to hear about the good things people say. Going by the name, yeah, I didn't expect that many people to post, but I was hoping to see a bit of an effort, and there have been barely any posts.
So I wonder whether this is being useful at all. There are few posts. The posts there are have no discussions. I think it's just taking up space. And as someone pointed out, whether it was my intention or not, claiming this particular subverse and defeating its original intent feeds the anti-SJW circlejerk that I'm sick to death of. And this isn't just me bitching about that or the lack of posts, I am actually going somewhere with this, which is this:
What do you want from this subverse? The current aim hasn't done anything, due to lack of posting. So I'm wondering if there isn't something better it could be used for, where it might be active instead of just being wasted space. If not, I'm giving it back. No reason to use up one of my 10 slots on a subverse that's dead in the water, and especially not one that makes people think I'm their boogeyman. So, please leave a comment with your thoughts, and I'll decide what to do based on that, if it seems like something that would work.

Yes, it's called Reddit.

No. The stated purpose of this website is to "have your say." That means you don't get to bitch about SJWs and then tell them if they want to speak they can go somewhere else. Everyone has a place. Everyone gets a voice. That's free speech.

You argue like a Redditor.
I have no faith in this subverse.

Well then SJW can launch a v/SJW, and everyone would be happy. SRS was taken hostage by SJWs, and it led reddit to what it is now. Nobody wants this here.
These comments make me fear too for v/SVS. Specially because of what happened with SRS, SVS should take strong stances against SJW.

Absolutely everyone deserves their say, no matter how crazy. The problem is that the SJW idea of "having my say" is that the existence of their opinions is mutually exclusive with allowing their thoughts to be on equal footing. They are known to use numbers and influence to eliminate competing thought, because they know they have no way of competing in a market ideas. They go so far as to (proudly and outspokenly) engage in Astroturfing to suppress Wrong Thinking, which is what many people suspect you of attempting right now.
