Dw about the pessimists, I think we can do this :)
I've met so many wonderful, kind, supportive people on this site. I spend way too much time in the comics tab, and I love making random Ask Pandas to get to know everyone. Yes, there are trolls, but it doesn't take very long to get their latest account banned, and I think that says something about the community as a whole. Yes, there are people struggling, but isn't it better that they're comfortable opening up, rather than keeping it to themselves?

I should probably mention that when I said 'pessimists,' I was not referring to Lakota's entry :)

All the unnecessary hate and drama. It seems I always get dragged into other peoples drama, and my rep always takes a hit. I’m sorry to anyone I have hurt. Genuinely. I am not trying to hurt anyone, and I’m sorry. This place is difficult with all the trolls, and they have really torn us apart. I am so confused with this place…

In that case, I think I’m going to leave for good. I am very disliked rn bc of the whole “spiderpunk” situation or whatever. I have hurt people, and i never wanted too . I love you all, and if I do leave, I will keep my account up in case i decide to pop back in. But I understand if u guys don’t want me to. I am so sorry for any harm I have caused. I love you all so much, and thank you. I think I will stay for a bit longer, to get the word out, and yeah. Love y’all’s :)

I want to punch this site sometimes. I have my AdBlock turned off for BP AND I have it whitelisted, but BP STILL hits me with the "We noticed that you're using an adblocker!!!1 SAD! UR STEALING PANDA'S BAMBOO!!!" message. I have to click "Yes, I'll whitelist" and refresh the article like 5-10 times (getting the same popup EVERY. TIME.) before it finally gives me the option "Continue with ad-light experience". BP IS WHITELISTED. I shouldn't get the popup at all! ARGH! I just want to read content nicked from Reddit and talk to my friends!! :(

Th best thing that you can do is ignore the trolls and report and downvote them. They're like the bullies from high school, so treat them like that.

If the person isn't a troll but is misinformed, pick your battles wisely. If they are insisting on a fact that puts your identity into question, ask yourself if this person would be open to a discussion. Many aren't and all is will turn into is a nasty argument. It isn't worth it with those types of people and there is no winning those arguments.

Another point would be to remember the community guidelines. Don't provoke people into an argument and don't post anything that you wouldn't want your parents to see. This is a community for a wide range of people, and whilst other sites might segment different demographics (and therefore you can be more open), here everyone is bundled together and you need to be aware that some things aren't appropriate to talk about in front of certain groups of people. No one wants to hear a rant about whataboutism or topics that are sensitive to some groups of people.

Sorry, but "No one wants to hear" does not equal "You're not allowed to talk about it!" That's how YOU feel, not how reality works. Also, who gets to decide which topics are "sensitive" and who are "some groups of people"? That's actual censorship. And fascism, if only a certain few get to decide what those topics are.

I really don’t like the trolls, so I join you! I’ve made a decision to stop downvoting. I never liked it. I will report trolls and fight them, but no more downvoting for me. I hope that’s ok
