Hey Pandas, Why Did You Decide To Join Bored Panda, And What Made You Stay? (Closed)

I'm fairly new but I really enjoy the site. I was wondering what everyone else likes about the site.

I'll go first. I came across some fun articles while on the internet and I realized a lot originated from Bored Panda. I enjoyed the quality and the format.

I stayed because of the inclusivity, support and open-mindedness of the users. At first, I expected to feel awkward being a millennial in my 30s but there are people of all ages, backgrounds and locations on here. There is rarely any pretentious behavior and everyone is open to give advice or help those that may need guidance.

The space feels safe and open for everyone to express themselves freely.

Ah, I found cute pix of animals and some really funny content. Then there was some truly haunting photos in one post eg scratched interiors of gas chambers and I stayed away for a while - I wasn't in a good place myself and needed the fluffier side of life as much as possible. BP is a very varied place and it's surprising what you learn. Genuinely funny comments from many people and some very deeply thought through ones as well. I've had my eyes opened a few times. I confess I do get a wee bit bored with pointless comments such as 'oof' or 'burn'. Yeah, it's harmless but why bother if that's all you have to say? Sorry - only just found this post!!

I was reading some articles and thought I was looking at other stuff on bp. For a few weeks I didn't have an account and then I decided to make one.

I joined bored panda to help out a confused boy who was asking if anybody could tell him what his sexuality was based on what he said, I joined and planned to post ONE COMMENT, then sign out and never use bored panda again.

that obviously didn't work out.

I totally agree with everything you mentioned in your submission, denzoren, and I also came here because of the same reasons.
The only thing I want to add is that I like the challenges and Ask Pandas because it‘s interesting to see what other people do or think and especially the challenges are sometimes very inspiring.

I was looking at some stories while looking for something to do, and clicked on one. Lo and behold, it was bp. I saw it had some other good stories and comics, so I joined.
