Was a frequent participant in r/grimdank.
I can’t imagine the feeling of pouring your heart and soul into a community only to have them turn around and call you a “janitor” at the first hint of inconvenience to them.
My contributions to reddit were always more surface level (though much higher in volume) and I can’t help but look at what everyone is saying and cringe.
I think everyone involved would be better if we just left them to their old habits and moved on.
They’ll probably be fine, they can bear it. We go on to do better things.
