Can’t wait for this place to start filling out!

It’s pretty exciting! I’m really enjoying this new platform. Not filled with ads and the comments feel a lot more genuine.
There aren’t any karma bots yet. No one is making useless comments like “this.” The conversations are civil. I’m loving this community!
