It is what you make it. So fair play for making a post for discussion. It's not dead but not very active.

I’m less likely to comment about news for some reason. I often feel like I’m about to state the obvious each time (“that’s good to hear” / “that’s terrible news”). I’m far more likely to engage with personal posts like yours here.
I’m glad it’s not just me. There might be the rare occasion where something sparks a debate but that’s far and few between
Maybe it is. But I believe Éire is more than just a newsfeed, obviously. It's so beautiful and pittoresque.
