Meh, fuck the downvotes. Its an important daily post in an important community. I really enjoy the accountability it provides.
But is not gonna be for everyone. Most people are normies who are good with never drinking or only have one or two every few weeks at best.
Maybe they just want it off their homepage. Who knows?
Edit: And I saw it suggested elsewhere it could just be a misclick, which is very possible. Either way, just keep on keepin' on!
Or people that drink much more often, see this post, and find it too confronting for themselves.
That makes me kinda sad actually, but the reality is, you could be right.
It's a pretty hard thing to wrestle with the idea of sobriety if someone can't imagine living their life that way. I get it. I'm a partier at heart who always wants to be out and about with people socializing, and the bar is the easiest place to gather other adults.
Hopefully if they are someone who wants to cut back, (and can do so safely), they take a peek in and see that it's not meant to be judgey. If someone checks in for a day or two and not the next, no one is coming after anyone/shaming anyone/questioning anyone. Just come back the next time you don't wanna drink. It's that low threat and chill.
I'm a verbose individual so I write novels, but most folks are legit just like "Not drinking today", and leave it at that. Whatever works, right?
Probably people who just didn't want it on their feed and didn't know how to block the channel.
