Hey everyone,
I recently joined this forum, hoping to connect with others who share a common interest. However, I've been a bit taken aback by some of the interactions I've seen and experienced.
It feels like there's a pretty unwelcoming atmosphere here, with a fair amount of hostility and what feels like hazing towards newer members. I'm genuinely curious why that is. Is there a reason for this kind of environment? I thought the purpose of a forum like this was to foster discussion and community around our shared interests, not to make people feel unwelcome.
I'm interested to hear from both new and long-standing members about their perspectives on this. What are your thoughts on the current community atmosphere, and do you think it reflects the kind of place we want this forum to be?
Thanks for your honest responses.
