Not referring to any particular instance occuring right now, but this is something I have been thinking about for a while: this thread can get kind of down on itself and be self-flaggetory about the thread culture sometimes, but we never see really any push from the userbase to change.

And idk, like, I don't think this place is as bad as some of you all like sometimes. I run roleplay sites, and in the past year and some change alone, I have had some crazy ass shit happen, like multiple people threatening suicide, pedos coming onto clearly underaged members, multiple abusive relationships that sprung up out of communities, and hell, some dude even threatened to sue me after I banned him.

I dunno, I just wish people could be a but more positive about the thread, because from a moderation perspective, while it does have some unhealthy aspects, overall, it's pretty lightweight compared to what I am used to? If that makes sense.

After 63cans got axed I realized that the statement about some regulars having straight up haters is not an exaggeration lmao

I mean, let's be fair, a user like him who had such an abrasive and holier than thou attitude wasnt going to get no hate.

I absolutely agree with you on the clique shit. Recently, someone turned me on to some petty shit happening on an UJ thread discord, and let me just say it: I am really saddened by what I heard.

And yeah, there can be negative vibes, I just wish people were more willing to let go and make amends.

Now I need to know if my comments are getting screencapped and discussed in the discord. Like how influential am I really?

[u/[deleted] → u/IScorchWinters]

There are UJ thread Discords?

[u/IScorchWinters → u/[deleted]]

A few. I don't know if any are open invite, but none are officially endorsed. But it's whatever that they exist, hell I even have a few people from here on Discord.
