ok i've been trying to pinpoint why socialization on here feels suffocating and you nailed it. its great that i could post what pound pet i got, or talk about my current mood, but no one really engages anyway. they're all just massive threads where you post and dip out. no further discussion encouraged, and if you do, take it to pms. i've even tried joining clubs to make friends on here but the ones with media i like are dead lol
not to be the guy who compares fr and cs, but i've been playing flightrising lately and seeing casual discussion on the forums is so so nice. it actually feels welcoming! like even a topic as simple as "i updated my bio" is allowed haha
you have my support! besides spamming and vent threads not being allowed (referencing the code of conduct rules) i dont see where forum posts without a clear point of discussion is rule breaking. i guess similar topics and vague discussion are considered spam?
