There’s something about learning loads of useless trivia that draws people, and TIL is really popular. Not only that, but TIL is an organic way to educate people, even on the most commonest of things. The reactionary-TIL has posts like “TIL about the tank man who resisted tanks with his bodie” and “TIL about stalins big spoon” resurfacing every few months, which serves to teach newcomers the lore of the liberal world, and the creation of its based counterpart here would teach the vibes-based ML worldview instead.

may haps i will request it… later

there might be a hundred power posters but active users in general? no, that’s at least in the high hundreds AFAIK, possibly into the thousands depending on how you define “active”
