I know there is a meta thread but I think this is an important topic. In the pandemic years Christian boards in 8kun and others were very active, Catholic boards, Orthodox boards, the general ones.
Now that I looked most of these don't exist anymore, and /christianity/ /christian/ is filled with a schizo/bot, porn, and shitposts.
This board and 8moe's seem to be the only active ones.
What can we do about it? Or is this the natural course due to IB users tendency to be cynical and mean?

I don't like Discord's spyware but I guess it is more stable, and much less would want to make a reddit account. I used to be in Twitter when it had a big christian activity but it turned very trigger happy with the bans.

I think it is multifactorial, where you had a stable base that was able to attract a large userbase, but when that was taken away, you had a dispersion to multiple sites that had poor stability and short runs, such as Christchan and anoncafe. When /Christian/ got moved to zzzchan, the userbase took another dive, I think, because this site is constantly hit with pedo spam and all sorts of degenerate stuff that was more firmly controlled on the previous sites. Now, with the numbers so low, I think many avoid it altogether instead of attempting to revive it. It doesn't help that many squabble over denominational stuff, which is pointless for a board with a single digit userbase. Another issue is that I believe, as many of us mature in our walk with Christ, we realize that being around this stuff is not suitable for the soul (1 Corinthians 15:33).

It's hardly active here unfortunately. I wish there was more interest in theological discussion.

Same here. I feel like the few times that we get a topic going, that one schizo shows up and everything gets derailed. He has to be JIDF. It happens too many times.

If you want the board to be more active, make some threads with theological questions. All the recent posts are memes, webms, music, and other things that don't invite a response.
