Maybe we should be a bit more, well, casual?
I occasionally got frustrated with how trigger happy the mods over at the Place That Shall Not Be Named were on CasualUK. Posts that promoted some fun discussion and were upvoted after the first couple of minutes of them going up were still deleted and deemed as "moaning" or "low effort".
Perhaps a clearer definition of "low effort" might be "it took you 10 seconds and everyone ignored it", and rather than a ban against moaning, perhaps we might ban "boring moaning". If the moan is entertaining, satirical, prompts engagement it should be left alone.
Just my 2p's worth.
I think the most important rules is the "no politics" one. Personally, I have GAD and need to avoid news for my mental health. Casual UK has helped me feel that I'm interacting with community/society without having that interaction polluted by politics.
Yes I agree. It's kind of amazing how politics can ruin a conversation. Especially online. I find that can happen even if I loosely agree with the other person.
