Did SMR do something bad or have they slowed down publishing asks or something to make folks come here instead?

Just asking, because I've started seeing a lot of SMR's stupid vague posting and ignoring the rules of adding details and it's getting annoying.

This isn't SMR, assholes. We drop names and details here.

no idea if anything specific is going on, but SMR has been really unreliable about publishing stuff in a timely fashion lately, and it has made it hard to actually use it to talk/vent about current issues.

i haven't posted any of these lukewarm takes but the change has definitely pushed me, personally, towards checking ARR way more than SMR rather than the other way around. wouldn't be the biggest surprise if we're seeing a subtle migration.

hello, catmin here to say that all asks have been queued within 12 hours. if you're having issues discussing current issues, it's because no one has submitted any asks about current issues. if your ask about current issues wasn't posted, it's because it either violated blog rules or didn't make it through tumblr's ask system.

i'm the only admin queueing posts at this point, so it's hard to have a faster turnaround time

ayrt

oh wow hi catmin; always figured there was substantial community overlap but dang, all the way to the top…

fwiw, i made most of my own judgment call re: timing as a result of the period of time when SMR fell behind substantially. it has definitely been better since! but considering how my own habits have shifted as a result, it was the best i could offer for speculation for the anon i was replying to, and struck me as much more likely than some kind of big ~SMR crimes~ reveal, lmao.

You can only do what you can. You have a life outside a damn salt blog, especially on the holidays. Take care of you, man.

i feel the need to mention that you guys run three drama blogs for three different websites.

maybe that's part of the problem
