I read a lot of political sites. The only reason I knew of this place is because a friend is a long-time poster and said I should read and post here.
I don't know the membership numbers or anything, but as I said, it feels like I'm reading the same posters most days. It feels like a pretty small community to me. And I'm just comparing that to, say, political subReddits, where there are so many people, I never who anyone is.
I mean, it doesn't matter. As long as the community likes each other and generally gets along, the number doesn't matter. Just the quality you're getting out of it.
I just can't imagine the government particularly cares. Facebook monitoring alone feels like it should be its own Cabinet department.
