Ahh, but it’s not a Q&A forum, no, no, the “community” aspect has blown that clean out of the water & for some, dominates their every thought & deed.
The place is rife with this shallow, petty approach, perfectly decent questions are ignored if these people don’t like the asker, these same people then tell us they’re saddened the volume of questions/jellies are in permanent decline & the site suffers as a result…irony much.
One thing that i’ve noticed & that particularly stands out in the 5+ yrs i’ve been here is whenever an argument begins in a thread, that question then draws in particular jellies like flies round shit, “Observing members” appear in great numbers, probably encouraged via PM to indulge in the ensuing car wreck & snipefest.
I have always treated Fluther as purely a Q&A site, lots of fun, make a few pals & chat some shit, the community vibe is fine, as it was originally intended, but has morphed into a hideous, clique filled, negativity fuelled club for the bewildered, not for all obviously, but some have chosen that path.
I shall now be attacked by these cretins for being honest, the funny thing being, they think I care :D
Also, I can pretty much predict who they’ll be, oh & as always, i’m in a good mood, don’t fret.
