    On that other place before I left, some guy posted a pic of him and his brand new fiance just to tell the world he proposed to her. I replied with something like “You look like a really great couple, I hope you’re happy together” and the first response was a downvote. Made me laugh.

    People really went after that squid guy who was sharing his health issues. That seemed pretty unnecessary and aggressive towards someone who’s already struggling.

      Yeah that was shit. Squid made more than clear he didn’t want armchair diagnoses or input. I’ve had people do the same to me when I post about my colitis. I had someone a month ago tell me that my medical team was wrong to put me on a particular kind of medication, ignoring the fact that it’s these kinds of medications or I go through surgery and have a stoma bag. I’m 27 so understandably my medical team doesn’t want to jump to surgery without exhausting all other alternatives.

      That’s one thing I hated so much about reddit. People thinking they know it better even though they don’t know shit. Also some people made fun about him making too many comments for their liking. It’s despicable behaviour from pathetic menchildren.

    Someone was telling a story in a parenting community about their kid and how they felt accomplished over something that had happened that day.

    Someone else commented that the guy should stop posting because “no one cares about your main character syndrome”.

      Rule 1 on reddit is never be proud of ANYTHING. People will viciously tear you to shreds.

      If you are proud of something, lie and say it’s your first project, setting unrealistic expectations for all other beginners in the hobby and you’ll get tons of up votes for some reason.

        Yeah so? Sometimes parents don’t have the support they need and want that validation to motivate them. They’re exhausted & worn out. Being a parent really wears at you sometimes.

        Their crime is needing a little validation? I’ve seen worse things on the internet.
