MODERATORS
The gaming communities are the only negative ones I have. It's really sad, because I really want to be in gaming communities, but I just can't stand all the negativity all of the time.
I've found that communities that are both mainstream and related to technical subjects to always get filled by people who know just barely enough about the subject to spread self-assured disinformation.
You won't really have this problem with super-niche stuff, or stuff that isn't mainstream enough like a pilot community. Gaming in social media is definitely cursed.
Yeah, it feels like gaming communities everywhere on the internet can be so toxic.
I've had better luck with comms focused on individual games, but their content is slow right now.
