Define, "alive." I pretty much considered it dead after Rob Malda left.
Okay, somewhat alive and on crutches. ๐
There are still some rare yet ephemeral sparks of good insights left dwelling and lurking over there.
During the reddit blackout I almost automatically/unconsciously went back there to see what's up like I used to back then.
It's still alive. The anonymous racist trolls are still there, but amazingly there are still some intelligent people with insightful comments to make. The signal to noise ratio is not what it was though.
