Yep, Dion's pretty much correct here. The community is shrinking and apathy is exponentially growing by the day; there's less user engagement and people feel less concerned about building community between each other. As awful and ridiculous as past spats were, we still had a lot more community agency and unity in a way. It's more than Mahz stepped away and new features can't be added--those are just bells and whistles. Those don't bring new users in and retain them nor does it convince those who are basically on their way out from RPing as a hobby from keeping themselves from retiring outright.
