its the lack of content actually. the last instance that got shut down had way more content than now, because people dont stick to one place and grow them, they just go to ever smaller and smaller communities.
It's hard to get used to the slower speed of these newer sites. I prefer it, but it took time to prefer it. You get so used to the speed of the giant networks and the emotions it triggers so frequently that the slower pace of smaller networks leaves you in withdrawal. This was why I didn't use BlueSky as much as I used to use Twitter, but I've been starting to enjoy the slower pace of all of these services. I actually have more free time now because the tap runs dry and i log out for the day. I've been on the Internet since I was 11, back in 2001, and I've had to really wrack my brain to remember what it used to be like. Forums simply didn't update at the speed sites do today, and I didn't mind it.
