>I'd love to see marzichan become more active
I think I should add to this however. Marzichan's main issue isn't so much a population issue. The "rules" (well, rather, more accurately, the guidelines) for marzichan, and the general culture in itself is aimed more for creativity and productivity. Which is very sweet, both in theory and in practicality.
As I've said too, I personally, genuinely appreciate it. It's a nice safehaven from all the arguing and the dramas elsewhere,
But that's the basis of the sociology here. The silence isn't "Marzichan's failure as a community" that's more or less it's functional state. Discourse, is a social stage. The basic reality is that we're a handful (not "a handful" in the sense that "we're tiny and small", I mean, just as goes the saying) of people here. I'm not trying to argue "enough drama would turn everyone here into an artist and creative." But a stage, requires a drama. The general userbase is, relatively nice here. It's not just that marzichan has a nice userbase, it's that the general culture cultivates nicety. Which is an "issue" on the prospect of having conversations.
The times when this place gets the liveliest is when we either have "bad" actors, or present actors acting "bad." From a very fundamental, basic understanding of socialization, two people who agree, or at least, two people who are conflict averse, cannot have a conversation. You can't really talk about a topic where you see eye-to-eye, or at least, pretend to do so because you want not to argue. This is socialization at the basic roots.
Now, I'm not saying "all human socialization must be high stakes drama" or anything as such. But, a chan board, realistically, being a chan board, is not going to invite the kinds of people or conversations that are high technicality of any prospect, realistically. At the general relatistivistic statistical probabilities (yes. I wrote that clause.) the chances of THAT kind of high quality conversation driving the kind of "high, fast" traffic on a chan board is very, very unlikely.
The alternative to that, are dramatics. Which is not likely to happen on an inherently anti-drama, sweet, nice place. Like I said before. I like this place. But the "lack of" fast traffic isn't a "failure", it's the final state of this kind of place. Even with creatives around, the chances of there being enough creatives around to constantly drive high quality content to produce fast traffic are very slim. And from a realistic perspective, the "only" way for marzichan to be the kind of "fast, high traffic chan" is either under the case that the culture gets steered into being a more "drama primary" driven community/culture, or, being another "dead group chat" where people just post "their things" INTO the void. Someone posts a youtube link from a video they watched, no one replies, someone posts "their song", no one listens to it, etc.
Not trying to "make a statement" here. Just saying "you're best likened to a good parent." Which is sweet. I adore you for that. But being a good parent usually means you watch them grow away. USUALLY. not always. But when "they grow away", there is no drama at home, no shenanigans, no theatrics. Just the comfort of silence.
