That’s because a lot of people from X/Twitter moved over to UteZone. I like Bartle, and think he’s a hard worker. But, UteZone has become toxic like Reddit and Twitter unfortunately. Like others have mentioned, people have left UZ because it’s gotten too toxic. DallasUte left UZ because of the toxicness IIRC. It’s almost like it’s easy to be a keyboard warrior behind a computer/tablet screen.
Also, a lot of pessimists are on that site now…
