Honestly, just be grateful that platforms like IG and other social media exist to draw off the douche-bagginess. There were points in the past when THIS community was overrun with Drama, and it was really (at best) tiresome and (at worst) vile. Too many people who knew each other IRL using this platform for bullying, snarking, competition, sharking, and other lovely qualities. (Since I knew none of these people, I never had an actual beef with anyone. But it was really a drain to come here to unwind after work, maybe want to look for pins, and just see endless reams of negative posts and inside jokes--the mean kind--and all that stuff. Like, woof. IDC who's right and who's wrong and who's cool and who's not. I graduated from high school a loooooonnnnngggg time ago and just do not give a fig about other people's need to maintain that mindset throughout life.) That all migrated elsewhere, thankfully, and all the folks who remained active here, and the new members who've joined since, have really upheld the idea that this is a community. If some people think we're lame, well, fine. They're probably not people we want active around here anyway. Go forth, and pollute other waters.
