According to a some folks on SMR, the mods here are big meanies that are cultivating a FR version of kïwïfärms* or 4chan (And it's clear they've never actively visited either site).
Also it's SMR that usually has bigger groups harassing folks on FR. (note they don't have a rule that ARR has, which is "No harassment/encouraging people to harass others") Folks have literally been driven off FR over stupid shit on SMR.
Not saying ARR is perfect, but tumblr just has a ridiculously stupid mob mentality and no reading comprehension whatsoever.
*added umlauts to prevent it from showing up in search engines, idk if dreamwidth shows up in results, but better safe than sorry, bc that site has folks on it that genuinely should be considered murderers for the suicides they've encouraged their targets to commit.
That can't speak for everyone though. Just because there are some assholes that are part of SMR doesn't make them all idiots, that was my main point. I'm not saying they don't have any bad actors or anything but both sides ridiculing each other doesn't really help at all.
As a note: you also assumed I was calling them all idiots. I only was calling the ones saying "No, you shouldn't report them without a warning." such. But it wasn't worth it to clarify that with howyou replies.
I don't think your hostility towards me is very necessary lol but I am sorry for misreading your words. My brain scrambled them up so I took it as you saying everyone and that's my bad. I still think lumping a large group together like that is wrong but let's just drop this because it's sort of a pointless circular discussion
I wasn't being hostile, that's entirely my fault- text is hard to convey tone with! It was just me pointing out what I typed. Sorry if I came off that way!
frankly the goofiest part about ALL of these conversations is the way in which people keep pretending like smr and arr regulars are two totally separate groups of people
like. it's not like i'm under the impression that the venn diagram is a circle or anything but. folks the calls are coming from inside the house.
There kind of are two separate groups- I know some of the SMR regulars don't use ARR bc they don't like DW's layout/can't follow the threads, and some ARR folks have mentioned they don't use tumblr.
They're just not as cut and dry/divided/large as folks say they are.
They will drop names in replies to threads with no proof to serious accusations and get users harassed in one breath and claim we're horrible for naming names in our posts the next when we come up. And often, those are the same users doing it.
NAYRT I think this is about Tumblr in general being very USA centric and people bitching about users on FR for being "incomprehensible" when it's pretty likely those users are ESL/using a translator

Nowhere did I say "Everyone on SMR is an idiot."
