      i don’t think it’s normal to post about crushes regularly. i would personally be very alarmed that someone i thought was a friend was regularly publishing details of our time together and how they’re developing feelings for me on a public forum that is easily readable by literally anyone, even people with malicious intent. as a woman, it is genuinely scary that an audience could be reading about my life and i would have literally zero clue about it

      if the site needs to enact a policy that any kind of posting that might involve other people in our lives be relegated to DM only, then OK

      Yeah, no. This is such a convenient ultimatum that benefits you, it just sounds like you’ll just use this as an excuse to slide into direct messages or make “feeling lonely please dm” posts.

      This is not a serious issue and yet you’re being extremely defensive about something the majority of the website is against whilst playing the smol bean role for sympathy points. Stop posting about crushes, it’s creepy.

        One user responds to inflammatory, kinda witch-hunty, and somewhat ableist post with level-headed, inclusive reasoning.

        1-day-old user responds within minutes, making accusations toward that user, being more hostile, and claiming that the whole site is on their side.

        God I love the culture of this site sometimes.
