Cynicism

Normally, I’m what I like to refer to as an optimistic realist. I see things for what they are but hope they can get better.

However, as of late, my cynical side is taking full hold of my thoughts in terms of this site. While I enjoy the relationships I have built with my fellow bloggers, I lack the zeal to provide content to a site that prioritizes stolen porn and hookup ads over original content.

The content moderation hellscape that allows rampant transphobia to fly by without a second thought while deleting jokey responses between blog friends en masse.

The hours of moderation limbo.

Followed bloggers posts not being in my feed.

The nightmare that is my inbox.

Over familiar strangers commenting gross come ons and dick pics on HNW posts.

Where I was once excited to blog here, enchanted by the new community, the abandonment of the original policies of this side for the Craig’s list/porn hub feel of it now just depresses me.

It leaves me in a spot where I’m going to continue reading those I follow, but my break from actual blogging is going to continue for a while.

I miss Andrew’s vision of this community.
