The Social Experiment Is Over (opens in new tab)

Genuinely curious, because I feel like I'm missing something - the owner is apparently disillusioned by nobody caring, but why were people supposed to care in the first place?

I never had heard of this before lol and 5 minutes ago wondered where it was at so I searched it up and found this. For what it matters I'm sorry people are like that. Posting on Febuary 25th 2023 at 7:28 EST from NE Ohio

I am sorry you are going, but I want you to know that you are very appreciated! You have made this world a little bit happier by being in it.

Thank you!

It seems like a person who is not really technically trained. He got a good sounding domain and a bit of popularity and battled through trolls all these years - then popularity (and questionable usefulness) faded, the joy/stress ratio quickly became not worth it.

I get that this person must be stressed, but this decision does not have much useful morale. A bit like this HN post - catchy name, but not much substance.

I fear for children of the future, they may end up thinking the internet is just a corporate mouthpiece.

Sites like this will be just a memory.

First I've heard of this site.

Is the owner saying the site is closing down, or something else.

Seems like a nice idea, but maintaining a site like that probably is a ball-ache, definitely want to find some users that are really into a site like that so you can delegate some moderation.

It's sad to see this go hopefully they will start a new one in the near future..posting this comment from Delta UTAH

The phrasing on this website uncovers a question I never thought to ask:

Was there only one car?

What happens on February 28th?

The link to the "additional information" were very helpful. Thanks!

+1 for the additional information. Also, nice username, upvoted.
