    America is getting really fat. Reading the article reminded me of how fat this country is getting.

      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.
