This is my first time really using a forum, and I love it so far. I've found social media communities to either make me feel like shit whenever I use them or just not interest me at all, but I've been having a great time here. Also even with all of this discourse going on and even with it getting quite bad in a lot of places here, it is still so much better than anywhere else which just seems to be a constant pit of negativity where once you're in you can't really get out until every stops caring. Here it feels like you can engage but still easily step away when you need to. Really bad timing for these forums in a lot of ways, but it has also definitely convinced me to stay on here.
