In my own curated version of Tildes (sports and politics is filtered out) I don't see much difference between threads now than e.g. 6 months ago.
I think the busy-ness on Tildes ebs and flows, but with the consistent userbase I'd personally very much hesitate to call Tildes anything less than a 'successful smaller forum', let alone something that has failed to thrive.
Also, in b4: Be The Change You Want To See In The World :p

If you decide to go with a consultancy firm, feel free to shoot me a PM with names of whom you're considering - I was a Technology Consultant for a specific platform that all these consultancy firms use (being vague for privacy, but don't mind sharing in a PM if asked), so I got to know quite a lot of them and how they work. Happy to give you a personal opinion if there's a few names you're considering.

"UX research freelance" might get you closer to what you need - I'm not sure if you're using the recruiter side of linkedin but that should help if you haven't checked it out yet.
I'm also not 100% sure what you're looking for exactly? Because UX researchers can do panels/AB testing etc.; UX designers can actually help you adjust the web page. They're usually mutually exclusive (i.e. usually a UX designer does not have experience in the research part, and a UX researcher usually has no real graphic design experience). It sounds like you just want minor tweaking of the UI, but a UX researcher can do UI tweaks usually. If you want an actual overhaul and want to test your audience's response to changes in-house, I recommend searching for a UX designer freelancer specifically (incidentally, there's a lot more of those out there so it shouldn't take you long to find someone suitable).
Lastly, you can always go with a consultancy company like Capgemini, EY Global etc. Those are pricey but will get the job done in a jiffy.
Feel free to ask followups if you want, it's (adjacent to) my field (Market research / data analysis / UX research).
Edit: I misread your original post and see now that you're clearly asking for a UX Designer, apologies for my earlier confusion hah. The relevant parts of my comment still stand of course :p

Great taste and great attempt, didn't fully land the execution though.

Comment on Can noise canceling headphones be effective against non continuous noise such as music? in ~tech

The only sound that filters through a little, is really high pitched sounds. Like I'll hear something if my neighbour decides to vacuum, but since I always have music playing whilst I'm working it's not actually noticeable at all.

Maybe I'm not bridge-savy enough to see the ""beauty"" here, but I don't really like the look of the bridge.... You'd think if they valued aesthetics over structural safety it'd at least be cool looking....
Edit: @PleasantlyAverage posted a few pics that make the bridge look a lot more aesthetically pleasing, or at least not as awful as the pic in the comments of the article. Here's the link to their comment in case anyone else wants to give bridge-y here another chance :p

They're ridiculously juicy, like sure they could be even juicier, but I feel like at least 85% of a good juicy burger is technique over everything else.

Comment on Concussion treatment: the insidious myth about resting protocols that even doctors still believe in ~health

From the article: @cfabbro, mind another...Anticlickbait duty: The concussion treatment of rest is a myth. There's more and more evidence for active treatment like rehabilitation and excersize.
From the article:
There was a reason the “just rest” advice worked so poorly for him. For years, doctors had been told that concussion patients needed total rest in order to recover. But around the time of Gormally’s concussions, which occurred between 2013 and 2016, the science was beginning to indicate the opposite—patients who “cocooned” themselves in a dark room, even for only a few days, consistently took longer to get better than people who stayed engaged with their daily activities.
Since then, study after study has shown that the concussed brain requires active rehabilitation—activities like exercise, reading, and screens—to heal. The most up-to-date Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, a report prepared by an international panel of experts, recommends “active rehabilitation” and discourages total rest. As with most injuries, the specifics of what that rehabilitation looks like varies from case to case; researchers and specialists have an arsenal of protocols and therapies at their disposal.
@cfabbro, mind another round of title anticlickbaitification :)?

Meaning I ask it to give me a quick overview of e.g. the differences between [field-specific] software X and Y. That gets me a nice neutral summary of the general differences, which is what I used to trust smaller websites on, but now no longer can due to affiliate bullshit, SEO clickbait cheating or simply awful UI.
Those smaller websites would also almost always have a 'human opinion' section where the author would weigh in and give their personal preference for either X or Y in situation A or B. That's the part that I've replaced with "in:www.reddit.com".
Honestly I feel more and more like I cannot stand any fucking website anymore that's not either 1) Wikipedia, 2. Stackexchange or 3. Reddit (not that Reddit is a great beacon of fairness at all, but I don't feel the 7-upvote post with 2000 words comparing their personal experience of X vs. Y is looking for any kind of algorithm chase).
Almost every single other website I try to get information from feels like its trying to convince me of something, and not because they """believe"""" in whatever they're praising - but because they want to sell it to me. And fuck that.
Edit: actually I'll add that I do generally trust tweakers.nl, but since that is NL-specific, only available in Dutch and focussed on purely tech, it's not very relevant here. But that's the only place I feel like I can safely trust that the authors will present things neutrally, and if it's an opinion piece I feel like it's actually that person's opinion - rather than their """"opinion"""".

I'm currently paying for 4.0 because it's a quality increase I enjoy using whilst I jobhunt, but once I'm done there I'll downgrade back to 3.5 and will seriously consider a paid service to get past the awful SEO hellscape Google has become. Kagi is definitely on the list, you're not the first to say positive things about it so I'm intrigued.

Comments on your post or your own comments / posts? Because you can simply do a data request if you want every single post and comment you made in a nearly sorted zip file! Here's the data request link - make sure you select GDPR as that's as thorough as you can get.
As for deleting, there's scripts available you can add as a bookmark and then run - it'll overwrite all your posts and comments for you (and can delete them after). You want your stuff overwritten because reddit has a nasty habit of un-deleting mass-deleted stuff. If you overwrite your stuff first though and then delete it then if reddit restores anything it'll just be the overwritten stuff. Here's the link: Power Delete Suite (make sure you read the instructions thoroughly!!)
Edit: Minty's will work as well but Power Delete Suite is a lot easier to use, so I'd recommend that if you're not super comfortable with coding; For PDS just copy and paste some stuff as described in the instructions on github :)
