I've tried to be a bit particular with who I followed so I don't have to sort through quite as many posts between votes but I'm much the same way. I've had several experiences where I've created posts specifically to spark discussion and got nothing. The upvotes would come in but the engagement was either off topic or absent entirely. Don't know if I was just going about it wrong or what but I'm going to play around a bit and see what happens.
That whole day was disconcerting. Multiple militias turned up numbering in the hundreds, LMPD acting like an occupying army (I got photos of a police sniper with a suppressed rifle watching us), and off course the MPs. The whole thing had an element of theatre to it, just a show of force because they could (even the police horses were in riot gear).
Thanks for dropping by!
