"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[linayar]

what? I'm not expecting anyone to be on my side, where did I say that? I'm just giving you examples of what happens or happened, which all but serves to...

That said, I took a look at the rules for the main sub, and it doesn't allow you to vent about duty finder/pug experiences. So at least that's one excuse, which is unfortunate, as it just collects the people who would vent under another sub.

... paint this community as a beacon of niceness, by pushing away those voices that would disagree or didn't have a good experience, like them

Don't get me wrong, though. I think the rule is unfortunate because people still want to vent, not because I don't understand why they have it. That said, you can still discuss it in general. Instead of venting about a specific incident, you can describe an issue you have in general terms.

So I still don't see it about pushing away "dissenting" voices, but about not creating drama around specific incidents. Even r/TalesFromDF has to warn people not to encourage negative actions against people.

EDIT:

A nice recent example that I just saw:

It seems to have gotten a positive response at the time of this post.
