Hi everyone, despite having a new account here, I actually lurk this community since the reddit days and I've been noticing a lot of changes since those days.
In particular, since reddit is an open site, every day would come loads of pro-lifers vomiting their usual shit, this would cause always a lot of discussion, but took much space to the various personal stories which got quickly buried under the "battlefield"
On the other hand here people can share their personal stories freely and I've been noticing the forum taking a more "personal" form which, between the other things, made possible to form stricter connections between the users. While this is certainly great, it has brought a sense of complete disproval of any kind of discussion which seems to be considered a drect attack to whoever made the post.
Now, I admit being the first to have started "wars" over various things, especially a couple sensible topics for me. I realize it was wrong to do and I apologize, I still think what I think, but maybe there's no need to make a crusade every time
But I swear there are people here who crumble at first sign of criticism or even a different opinion, it surely can't be healthy to live like that. Too much coddling does not protect an user and instead creates a sense of fakeness, as in people are just saying the same made up sentences without any meaning behind it (which ironically is what pro-lifers are accused of doing)
This is also why I don't like the reactions, they go against the purpose of a forum making it more like a social media, and that's the last thing I'd want
Of course this is just my opinion, feel free to tell me what you think about it
