I mean, there was pretty good participation, really interesting points, about 125 upvotes and today I go to check and it seems to have been deleted. Yet these stupid shitposts are still there

I guess its in line with the essence of my post. People are more into pretending they are buying pizza for everyone than any meaningful discussion.

So fuck you mods. You’re probably 12 year old little fucks who have no real views on anything anyway.

    It may be more appropriate in its own post, but to facilitate meaningful discussion in line with this post:

    It’s my opinion this comm should institute a “no venting questions” rule in some form.

    Many of the posts here are similiar to the following:

    “Why isn’t the world in line with my personal beliefs, I’m right?”

    “How am I supposed to feel anything good / why are you feeling anything good when bad things exist?”

    “Why do people act badly or in ways I do not like?”

    The internet is a quite young place over all so it makes sense for a lot of people to still be grappling with the complexity of lifes existential questions, but I think it’s a ding to the comm’s overall attractiveness that quite so many of the posts are both negatively focused and repetitive.

    “Engagement” does not equal productive discussion.

    Your question doesn’t ask for an answer, it asks others to regurgitate your opinion back to you so you can all circle-jerk each other over how “everyone is wrong and stupid except for us”.

    OP what do you want? Do you want pushback, counterexamples, people attempting to share their worldview so that your own might grow a little? Or do you just want to fling shit at walls and people can either fling it with you or get hit by it?
