Why Has the Qubes OS Forum Become So Quiet Lately?

Your tone is a bit aggressive and disrespectful towards me, especially calling my approach simple-minded. I think people should be allowed to criticize without receiving aggressive replies which could deter people from speaking up.

I only answered the OP with facts and reason. this topic is about a reduction in activity.
So I gave a relevant example of my experience, 3 days wait duration for my post to be reviewed.
And that’s not something most people are going to tolerate unless they think it’s important enough.
So if other users are seeing a decline in activity, it seems reasonablem that it’s caused by increased moderation and control over content.

I think the user points to a thread similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/Whonix/comments/1rellkq/video_summary_tails_whonix_qubes_os_why_anonymity/ . But that thread and the video essentially focus on anonymity vanishing when one send traffic outside the computer, and it seems Qubes is more focused on security rather than anonymity. So if the threat model is anonymity based, Qubes maybe not be the best idea (and of course neither the worse).

OK

, especially calling my approach simple-minded.

Well, it is. You are blanket-implying more posts mean a better forum.
Which is a simple-minded, or un-sophisticated supposition.

OK.

Like the “fact”: “more moderation less activity”, implying less activity
is bad, or sleight-of-hand supposition that forum has become “so quiet”
(which it hasn’t).

this topic is about a reduction in activity. So I gave a relevant
example of my experience, 3 days wait duration for my post to be
reviewed.

And how’s this a supportive datapoint for the “fact” that forum has
become so quiet?

If qubes is getting boring, I’d call that a win.

I got bored to reply to the same questions every weeks, it’s cool if people use the search feature before asking now

Just posting to show some more activity and get my first post on this account over with lol. I guess I can be considered an advanced user, started using QubesOS at 3.something, posting on new account because I forgot my original one and what email I used to sign up with. Maybe I’ll post some guides in the future on some interesting qube setups I have, if I remember.
