Wall posts keep proving to me that the site is devolving from what I found to be so great about it when I joined. I understand fully well that the "headpat profile pictures" etc. in the world are just for fun, but it really feels like it also detracts from every other aspect of the site. I keep being confused as to why the site's community desires their primary shared interest to be "shitposting" or the akin - I understand that it has its place, but it feels really unfortunate to see such dominate the site's activity, not only in terms of wall posts but also in terms of forums and other interactions. The joke dies oh so quickly when it consumes the populous of the entire site and when it keeps running, it honestly feels like a distraction from the wonderful creations and works that are still present on the site. Maybe I am just growing too old for this, but it really does feel like the unfortunate reality of the site's current landscape. And while I understand that such is the present iteration of the community, it does make me long for days where the content seemingly was in focus and even chat interactions etc. focused on that. How times have changed.
