Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.
My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:

Hey Gang,
I'm seeing an uptick in downvoting to, I presume, express displeasure. Please don't. If a topic doesn't speak or appeal to you, move along, please don't downvote it. Please use the downvote button for content that doesn't belong here because it is inappropriate.
Thank you and game on!
Seems there should be a new voting system. Up and down for agree/disagree, and flags for inappropriate content that doesn't require explanation and submitting a report. Submitting too many flags that turn out to be nothing mutes the user.
No, I enjoy seeing the number go down when I dislike a user or their comment
here, have a downboat
Thank you!
I'm totally with you on this one - downvote is not meant as a "I disagree" button, but it is used that way which created the famous Reddit "hive mind" problem. So this has been a pretty peeve of mine for years. It is already creating the same problem here.
But unfortunately, we're tilting at windmills on this case, so I think we will just have to accept that this is the way it's going to be.
