    While I appreciate your concern for how fat America is, I’m struggling to see how this comment is helpful or leads to a productive discussion in any way 🤷‍♀️

      Lots of discussion going on around my comment right now.

        The discussion trying to process your extremely vague statement is not productive.

          I think you’re being a bit of a buzzkill.

            We’re not a space for low effort reddit/twitter style gotchas. Be better.

              Reducing my feelings to a “gotcha”. Yeah, I don’t want to browse a community with Reddit style moderation either, thanks.

                Reddit style moderation isn’t a conversation. It’s where someone deletes your comments and makes it so you’re the only one who can see them, or shadowbans you from the entire community.
