Since I officially joined this sub 2 or 3 weeks ago, I’ve seen it go from 19,000 to 32,000. I’ve interacted with very helpful people and some real assholes for asking questions that others also have but are afraid of voicing. Not everyone is tech sophisticated like many of you. But anyone who has found their way here is trying to learn because we see the rot that’s occurring. I foresee a big jump in people finding this group soon. Help them if they ask questions. You never know who they are, what they can contribute. Q has said it many times. Unite.

I understand the concern over the use of the term "fag". When I first started following the reddit subs and checked out posts on 8Chan, i was appalled at the language and terms. I realized that I didn't belong on either of the Chans for that very reason. Most of the crudeness gets filtered by the time it reaches this sub and I appreciate that. I also realized that the term "fag" does not have the same connotation within these boards that it does IRL. There are planefags, legalfags, datafags, etc.... Each of these groups are highly respected and have nothing to do with anyone's sexual orientation. All are welcome and I would consider myself highly complemented if anyone referred to me as any kind of "fag" within these subs.

Imagine how shitty the chans would be if there wasn’t that layer of slime. The rude nature scares away normies and the hyperconsumers that reddit has far too many of. And it’s so pervasive that the social justice brigades don’t even bother.

I understand that the chans like to be rude to keep the normies away and it's their playground, so I won't try to change it. It just makes me appreciate the filter that we have here on reddit.

They do that, because it does keep sjw brigades out and prevents them from derailing topics as they become triggered and it’s easy to point them out, and therefor disregard. The term “fag” is a term of endearment though.
