There’s one of these posts every few months and it’s always kind of funny. I’ve never once seen anyone even remotely consider that they have changed in the years since they registered here. It’s possible that you’re paying more attention to shitty posts than you used to or are clicking on more politically charged content. It’s possible that your overall standards for online communities have shifted as you’ve gotten older. Maybe the amount of time you spend on this website has changed, and your perception of The Discourse with it. It’s also possible that virtually everyone has been made significantly dumber and more self-assured by years of exposure to social media. It’s also also possible that the early 00’s-style “The only important value to uphold is The Immutable Value Of Decorum “ rule has been easily gamified by absolute assholes and self-styled Bond villain contrarians, which alienates genuinely nice people by making space for people to “just ask questions — POLITELY” about stuff like phrenology and thinly veiled race science.
