I will only speak from my perspective, so here's what I've noticed:
Bloated notes have been called out many times before. Shill bakers have been called out many times before. There's barely anything that gets done. As time went on most anons got tired of calling all of that out. Why? I think we've got to take into consideration on what is happening irl as well. It has been exhausting on both ends.
I'm not saying "thats just the way it is", I'm just stating that the current situation is as such. Night shift has been affected by this very very heavily. I'm usually a NS anon. I myself used to assist in collecting notes. Over the past few months I've had to deal with a lot of irl issues and ever since then I've barely been able to fully contribute myself.
>Complacency is what got us in this mess and now complacency is hindering our progress.
There's some truth to this.
Day in and day out, night in and night out, I've seen countless of Anon's posting up about how demoralised they are. A lot of em are shills sure, but at the same time I see that a lot of Anons tend to reply to those postings. It affects the whole energy/focus of the board when this happens. And this leads to the shills easily sliding their way in. In the beginning, we used to be told to NEVER CONCERNFAG. (Yes, I understand the irony of this.) There's a reason why that has been stated non stop during the beginning of all of this. Nobody calls out the concernfags anymore. Nobody calls out actual shills anymore. This has been a recurring issue that has been going on for months now.
What I'm trying to get at is that this whole issue is not just about the current state of QR. It's the current state of everything. It's not an easy task doing this. It's one thing to say "Anons need to pay more attention to how shills act on the board and be more vocalised about the on going events that surround it" and all that stuff, it's a whole other thing to get Anons to actually act on it. I'd say that this is more true now than ever. It's because of where we are at currently; the current state of affairs in this clown world. A lot of Anons are dealing with a lot of irl stuff as well. I can appreciate that. In the end of the day this whole thing is purely voluntary.
Having said all that though, I don't doubt Anons abilities on this board one bit. We've all gone through hell and back and yet we still in here. And if I'm being completely honest, I haven't gotten the slightest fucking idea of how in the universal fuck we even managed to pull through after all the bullshit that we've been through over the years. So yeah, I've got no doubt that we'll definitely be able to sort this whole thing out one way or another.
As for myself, I'm just here because I give a damn. That's all there is to it really. This is just my observation on the current state of things here.
I wish you guys well. It hasn't been easy, but having a place like this during a time like this has made me appreciate everything that you Anons do. Especially the shitposting. That has helped me more than you guys could possibly imagine. It has been an honour and it still is an honour to be riding this crazy ride with all of (You). I wouldn't have it any other way.
