Unsolicited/retard opinion: "This side of fedi" used to be more fun and I consider SPC to have been a big part of what made that so. SPC was largely made up of people who had hobbies other than politics. The sneed-to-fun ratio has gone up a lot in the wake of mass-defederations and admins giving up on instances due to pleroma bs. It leaves a greater concentration of 24/7 politiposting spergs who are frankly not fun to be around. So the people who want to chill out but also say nigger leave for Discord, and the people who considered free-speech to not be worth the loss of talking to their friends on Mastodon, have left for the cucked fedi.
The proliferation of block-lists has a lot to do with this as well. There would ideally be more "in-between"/grey fedi instances to diffuse the sneed. It's also a "new blood" problem. People who might have been NEETS or students a few years ago now have jobs and increasing responsibilities and they aren't being replaced (especially affects admins).
Anyway, for what it's worth, while I've never been a SPC/SPW main user, I consider it very important to the "health" of fedi - almost a canary in the coalmine of sorts. I don't think it's a case of SPW doing poorly, but rather this side of the fediverse as whole. I don't know what the answer is. There's definitely more I could do to help and I feel a little guilty about it, as gay as that sounds. Just not a lot of time.
