    It’s an issue I’ve been seeing in this community growing on the internet for a while now, so yeah I’m gonna bitch when this place starts turning into reddit the internet.

    There, fixed.

    It’s the internet, grow some thicker skin, or figure out how to interface with your fellow netizens differently.

      Imagine if most people had this shitty attitude. Nothing would ever change.

        Mmhmm. 40+ years of online communities and nobody has figured it out at scale yet? Maybe because there will always be assholes.

        It’s less resource intensive to tolerate a certain amount of assholery, rather than rule with an iron fist to the detriment of everyone else (false positives, reporting-system abuse, etc).

        That’s where my suggestion above comes from, a realist perspective. Go ahead and ask the mods here how difficult it is to effect the “change” you’ve invoked.
