Sometimes I feel like this place has devolved into a circlejerk/echo chamber. The shills and bad actors overrun this place so much it sickens me.
I lurk for the most part and from time to time I see genuine posts often go unreplied or ignored. I felt intense anxiety for having to be in their shoes and seeing how those posts were treated. It honestly causes me not to bother with this place, but there's nowhere left to go. I already have an exit plan, but it's shaky and incredibly risky at best.
Other ~~meme~~bait posts get dozens of (You)s and the demoralization/numbness increases within me.
Here in a blue state filled with sheep I see my options as limited. I feel so disillusioned with so many things including faith. I already struggle with that so much I feel dissociated with my own feelings.
Thank you for your reply. A pocket of hope is all that's needed to continue the good fight.
