Truly a pretty terrible place for any kind of social activity.

People here are super self righteous and unwavering in their beliefs, quick to insult others and be generally bitchy, pedantic and quick to dogpile. Worst of all while still usually slightly wrong about a thing, but unwilling to hear it.

It’s basically the worst parts of reddit users where we have boiled it down to the most affluent or socially insecure.

Even if it’s as simple as a question people jump to defend their position with insults rather than answer it cause they get worried the person might be confused and it’s best to just make sure it’s a closed community as quick as possible.

This isn’t an open community it’s a private gated one where everyone jumped the fence and is scared that the wrong person might have come in with them.

Condescending is not welcoming.
Upvoting cause they are your in group isn’t community.
Berating outcasts cause you at least don’t feel like them is still bullying.

    Asking the bullied to conduct themselves carefully is exactly my point why I don’t like this place.

    You are assuming the conversations that I’m upset about but it’s ones where I ask a question and get told I’m trolling and a liar for not knowing something or a liar for knowing something.

    I shared details about physics of material fabrication in space once in a thread had a person just “nuh-uh” me and call me names and then people all agreed with him despite the fact that I tried to point I had a dual major in theoretical astrophysics and Astro xenobiology.

    Like whoever gets the people laughing and speaks like they have a big enough dick around here is still right by default. That isn’t a community it’s a cesspit.

    I just hate the idea of blocking people for one time being a jerk. I’ve disagreed with people then agreed with them later.

    I dunno I seem to want something that might not exist? It sure as heck feels lonely.
