For me, that was part of the charm.

I could still find the information I needed when it was a serious query, and I could still find sound and sensitive viewpoints on many topocs. But, opening a horrible post just to see a horribly distasteful comment as the first response just kept reminding me not to take life so seriously.

It's annoying when it overflows and floods everywhere with the exact same joke (like Google en passant). In r/anarchychess they were constantly workshopping new jokes, because it definitely got old
