It's true, it just saddens me that people look forward to the declination of a community I've put so much energy and caring into the past month. This place took me in and gave me somewhere to be social when I had no other outlet for doing so. It hurts to hear someone hoping that degrades.
I feel the same way...Been here longer,so I've got more attached. I suspect there will be newbie people here who will work really hard to make this a Reddit clone. Let's not let them do that.
I wouldn't take it personally. Let's just keep making this community as awesome as it is today, and perhaps make it even better, and lets leave those haters out of this. Let them go to voat or whatever else floats their boat/goat.
After being on Reddit for several years, I can't bring myself to even go there now. I see Reddit as a box of rabid raccoons and Snapzu as a peaceful meadow with a babbling brook, huge trees and nice people and I want it to stay that way. If people don't like it here,they know where the exit ramp is.
For the ones you want to keep here it is a good surprise. I knew how to get by while commenting or disagreeing on Reddit. There is kind of a set protocol for not attracting the hive hate. Unfortunately it makes for a cookie cutter atmosphere that is entirely predictable if you have been around to see it develop over the years.
It was supposed to be a good surprise /u/MrY! Not a bad one, not something to be perceived as negative.
Some people just prefer scorched earth and mudflinging over good quality discussion and links.

Thank you for sharing. I'm hoping to earn my spot here, like you.
And then some newbies like me will be all about joining a new community and customs. Else, I would've stayed on Reddit.
I'm not hoping that it degrades - I'm genuinely excited to see where Snapzu goes from here.

That made me laugh, thanks.
You're welcome. Don't let that [insult deleted] get you down or interfere with your enjoyment of Snapzu.
edit I apologize for insulting the author. I was wrong, and I regret doing so.
Yeah, I wouldn't take this seriously. If not being a constant circle-jerk and less community drama is "dull" then I would rather be "dull".

I understand, it's just rather unfortunate.
yea for sure!
I am a fresh face and I have taken it as a GREAT surprise :) Just need to figure out something like RES for here...I miss all my cheeky shortcuts...
