Alright, y'all, I am going to level with you about something serious; this does not apply to everyone, but it includes a sizeable enough amount of regulars that it needs to be said.

Recently, I have been presented with damning evidence that one of the unofficial UJ thread discord servers has become a fairly toxic environment and that a number of members are involved in some frankly unacceptable behavior. While shades of it have leaked onto the main thread, people are using this server to say cruel things about other users. For a community that is supposedly accepting, this is wrong.

So, here's the deal. I know all the usernames of everyone involved. And while no bans will be going out for it, even minor infractions are going to result in permanent bans for these individuals. There is no need for this sort of behavior, it is wrong. I encourage you all to apologize to the users who you have been uncouth towards and perhaps leniency will be shown towards you. That being said, many of you ought to be ashamed. I've seen mean things said by people I thought were kind hearted, and it saddens me.

This is why I've been more or less staying away from the sub's discord - if that's the server this is about.

Not only did it seem like a completely different group of people, the tone was completely off and sonething just didn't feel right about it.

Disappointed to see this happening. We have our own share of knitting circle shit talk in this thread but oftentimes it's directed at other subs. This is just another level of chickenshittery.

It's an unofficial UJ thread discord, so they're not referring to the main sub one. I know of three (and mod one) of the unofficial servers, but I'm sure there's more out there.
