I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
For me, that was much more of an issue on reddit.
I think this is a cool place. There are a lot of empathetic caring people that are plugged into what’s going on in the world.
The downside of that is the world is a mess, to put it lightly, right now, so we’re all kind of commiserating, and it is pretty serious business at the moment.
I personally haven’t seen a ton of one-upping. I’m usually just happy to get a few up votes or a reply
