The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads.

        Signed up an account and took a look around.

        There’s some NSFW content now but it’s not all that different from what I described. Every community I look at is lucky to have 5 posts and many of them have all been created recently.

          I don’t have a horse in this race, but have you seen any of Reddit’s NSFW subs? Most posts are by bots.

          What…? The main comms have hundreds of posts and thousands of subscribers already despite the instance being created just over 2 weeks ago

                Lets just use your own screenshot for a second.

                Do you think all the posts in it that are practically all posted at the same time (16-17 hours ago) is normal, organic user behavior to you?

                  Pretty constant stream of posts in new:
