I'm not gonna lie. FDS is experiencing serious growing pains and it's really starting to show. I've several times poured tons of effort into writing up very long and detailed strategy posts only for them to be drowned out by page upon page of low effort memes, inspiration posts, and two sentence long rants that get upvoted to the stratosphere. At any given day when you look at the front page it's almost entirely image posts and rants with zero strategic content. All the time I see comments both on my posts and others that from women who only seem interested in moralizing about how they think certain strategies are immoral or inherently "bad" and shouldn't be used by anyone. My last post was so apparently so heavily bombarded by these morality trolls that it was briefly removed and then locked, or at least that's what people have been telling me in my PMs.
I'm not the only one I've noticed who seems to be having these concerns and I've seen several others mention similar issues. In short I think that this community has grown too large and too broad and that while our mod team is generally great they're trying to juggle way too many balls at once. I'm not sure what the solution is but I worry that the more this sub grows the more these problems will grow with it unless something is done.
