There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Almost as many as those of us with stairs in our house.

At least we are protected.

It is still as good as it ever was.

Did the Trump era actually revive readership/participation? Fark had been shrinking for years thanks to Reddit (just like most other online discussion sites), and Drew and his lackeys going full SJW regarding Trump was the last straw regarding its health as an ongoing business. Basically what happened to MetaFilter several years earlier.

I haven't participated in Fark (or MeFi) for years, but still subscribe to Fark's breaking news alerts for the headlines it produces, including this one.
