Yeah. Too many people only post in order to dump on someone else's opinion. It is noticeable.

Nice choice of photo though.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure what "dumping on someone else's opinion" means here. Disagreement, at least about fandom opinions, usually seems pretty polite these days. Am I ignoring or missing something?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT
There can often be some people who come on here and just say really negative things to try to upset a commenter over really random things. It's happened to me a few times.

IE.
*In a General Comment thread asking about your day*
Me: "I'm having a crappy day =\ "
Anon replies: "What the fuck do you want me to do about it?"

Like...just, there was no need. Whoever the anon(s) is/are, it's obvious they're looking for attention and they want to upset people. I choose not to engage.

[(Anonymous)]

Hm... I guess as a counterpoint, I'm been around F!S to some degree or another since its LJ days and I actually find the commenters more chill and friendly/open to discussion than when F!S was bigger and more crowded. Also, the comm seems more earnest and less into trolling. And I admire and respect people who are willing to post here under their username from week to week. Me, I would hate if people could track my takes from week to week. I imagine I would eventually post enough bad takes that people would find me irritating and ignore the times when my takes are actually good and interesting because I've exhausted their patience with me.

Unless this secret is talking about anonymous commenters? I just realized it didn't actually specify. But yeah, in any case, maybe I'm missing something (I don't usually check the comments unless a secret draws me) but I'm mostly happy with the culture of this comm whenever I do check the comments.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Back in the LJ days, we had some real... characters, let's say, song the regulars. Compared to those days, the comm is pretty chill nowadays.

I mean, at one point during the LJ days, fanficrants anon (ffr_rants? ffr_anon? Whatever it was called) decided that F!S was too wanky. Fanficrants anon!

[(Anonymous)]

honesstly, same. I've been here forever and seen the roller coaster, and right now I genuinely don't see what OP is talking about. there's probably fewer jerks than there used to be, most folks are pretty chill unless there's a topic we feel like flogging to death for the nth time because someone just had to go and make a secret about this again.

there's definitely not a cadre or a concerted effort, at least. Being here daily, you see so much quiet boredom most days. OP if you keep seeing assholes everywhere, maybe it's the specific types of discussions you're reading that concentrates your experience into certain small boxes.

[(Anonymous)]

You know what they say about if you can't see the jerk?

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed on the quiet boredom. Ugh, I miss the old days.

[(Anonymous)]

I find most people to be pretty laid-back, with a few assholes, and the laid-back people are such a contrast that the assholes really stand out. That said, I still get very crabby when some little twit tries to police how other people are allowed to do fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience it's more like unnecessarily earnest overexplainers, I'd say? Just makes the whole place seem a bit awkward rather than outright belligerent.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who can be kind of long-winded sometimes, I feel a bit attacked by “unnecessarily earnest overexplainers” lol.

NAYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I was about to say that "unnecessarily earnest overexplainers" are basically my people :-)

[(Anonymous)]

Call-Troll troll, and lmfao-no punctuation troll are probably the worst right now. There are still too many people willing to jump in face first though.

And the transphobic dipshit(s), but those guys, just ugh.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't forget the one who thinks "it's just a joke". Maybe it's different anons but the one who whined about their building 'joke' getting deleted as spam and the one who commented on the secret about Alzheimer's and the like in media the other week seemed to have similar senses of humor.

[(Anonymous)]

The first one wasn't even trolling, or even taking up much space, it was all the overreaction to it that caused the problem. It might have been dumb, but it was harmless.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, there are some dull people around. If the joke is not for you, then you can always ignore it.

[(Anonymous)]

the fact that this secret specifically calls out smug self-superiority and people just talk about trolls and mean comments. classic

[(Anonymous)]

Still butthurt that people don't swallow whatever bullshit you're trying to peddle without question, I see.

[(Anonymous)]

This response is unnecessarily hostile, while also not seeming relevant to the comment it’s responding to? Like at all? What are you even trying to say past the edge?

[dancingmouse]

Not really. Aside from a few Anon trolls that try to stir shit, it's actually pretty nice around here now a days. You should've seen this place back in the Soap Dish days if you really wanted to see some smug superiority/troll-ish behaviors, not just from Anons either.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. Or they should try hanging out in other communities, and see what goes on there.

[(Anonymous)]

It’s not so bad most of the time. There is self-important jerks that jump to conclusions or condescend, and their are straight up troll-like assholes that try to stir shit. Not to mention the problem previously discussed via secret with certain people willfully misinterpreting secrets and posts in order to be mad or argue about something. But it doesn’t happen all the time or in response to everything, and it’s definitely not every day.

And honestly, isn’t this the case for anywhere, online and IRL? There are going to be jerks, but there’s also going to be just as much people just doing there own thing not bothering anyone. That’s just normal.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm guessing someone disagreed with your Right and Rightful opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

If being here doesn’t make you happy, you should leave. Life’s too short to spend your leisure time online with people you dislike.
