Censored my warning about scummy and scam users, due to toxic positivity. This website has a zero tolerance for any negativity, even when its potentially deserved.
Conflating valid warnings with 'negativity' is dangerous for a community. When we prioritize 'good vibes' over due diligence, we inadvertently create a safe haven for predatory users. We should be allowed to flag suspicious users without it being labeled as toxic.
Enforcing blind positivity doesn't make a community safer; it makes it gullible. By silencing criticism under the guise of 'no negativity,' you are effectively removing the only defense mechanisms users have against bad actors. There is a distinct difference between harassment and necessary skepticism. I didn't realize pointing out red flags was a violation of the 'happiness only' policy."
This community does not have a mechanism for discussing suspicious behavior, all skepticism is automatically classified as 'toxic'? Because currently, the zero-tolerance policy for 'negativity' is functionally acting as a shield for questionable uploaders that waste peoples time.
Looks like I triggered some mods, they just went through my profile on a flagging spree.
