Length MSQ from all the expansions - it is getting insane

"I didnt play game x, but i know game x bad. Final Fantasy perfect!" lol

A lot of communities is this way though. Just look at the wow community that still thinks FF is "just a weeb game lol" until some bigger names on Twitch moved over, then suddenly it was cool.

If you want a positive circlejerk where every slight form of negativity towards the game is removed, may i advise you to join the FFXIV subreddit?

It's obvious you and I don't see eye to eye on some subjects but two wrongs don't make a right. Both platforms should be able to have legitimate discussions but in both places, if you have constructive discussions (wherever it's deemed positive or negative towards the game) it seems to end in name-calling or non-constructive discussion points.

Discuss in good faith = you're coping, or white knighting for SE/defending X thing

Meanwhile, if you say something negative about the game on Reddit = -129235235 comment points or whatever it's called, it's rarely a post/comment gets removed unless it breaks some rules though.

I suppose that's one of the reasons, ffxivdiscussion was formed but last I checked it spun out of control too.

I've only recently gotten around to signing up for Reddit – not just for FFXIV, but an assortment of things – and I feel like it really suffers for downvotes not differentiating between "I disagree" and "this is a badly informed post that should be hidden from view". If I say a thing and it gets no replies but gets downvotes, I don't even learn what I've said wrong or whether I've given incorrect information.

This isn't an issue for the bulk of my conversations there, which usually neutral or slightly upvoted, but on the occasion where it does come up as an issue it's very frustrating.

But I'm inclined to blame that on social media as a whole and what it's done to people's communication skills.

I feel old for saying that it was better pre-social media era. In many areas. Communication, dating to name a few.
