I wish I could just share my enthusiasm with everybody, but I get very anxious that what I'd find interesting people will find dull or maybe even troll... that's something I experienced with actual Reddit, I guess, and now it has carried over pretty much everywhere. I'll try my best because I want to contribute to a better experience not just for me but everybody!
I feel like as kids we're just so passionate about what's on our minds. We're still reckless and impulsive and less caring about what others think. When we grow up and understand the world a little better, we realize it's not so nice of a place we thought previously, and there's a lot of jerks around :( I hope we can find that childlike wonder of simply engaging with someone fascinating again.
Same! I grew up on yahoo chat and age of empires forums, I wish I could stop worrying about what others thought.
This is the best time to change it for good. So many nice people around here!
People here is so nice I dont know why but the problem is when more people join It will be harder to keep the peace so more mods will join and keep the peace
It's definitely going to be harder when there are more different personalities mingling together. It doesn't help some people just want to see the world burn no matter what the cost... while I want to say, "Enjoy it while it lasts!" I don't want to have that kind of scenario be the default. At the end of the day, we gotta make sure we contribute into making this space the space we want it to be, and that means reporting whatever we can that break the rules, posting quality content, and just being a decent person in general. We got this, internet friend! :)
Dear Faye, thanks for sharing because I feel the same way and have the same type of anxiety when it comes to posting. Many times I finish a draft and then delete it instead of posting because I think "who cares? Someone else said something similar."
But your post has motivated me to contribute more. Thanks!
I'm very very happy to hear that! I look forward to seeing you around :D
I spent 12 years of my life reading walls of text on Reddit because I knew they were authentic pieces of someone else's life they were sharing on the internet.
The most interesting posts are the ones that go in depth on some random niche topic that you'd expect no one to care about. Be it an Indie game with 5 players, or a random reptilian species with a cool ability.
So yes, I care! I doubt I'm alone in that regard. Please do post your thoughts ๐
Sidenote: this was before the era of ChatGPT, but I highly doubt a significant number of people are going to intentionally waste others' time by posting ChatGPT generated content.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I just got into an argument with someone complaining about the blackouts (trolling I guess) on another community. So exhausting. These will always exist, I guess.
Some individuals just get off annoying people, unfortunately. Ignore, report, and engage with somebody else seems to work most of the time! I hope this won't wear us down!
