Thank you for saying this. I’m keen to see /m/scifi succeed so I’m concerned we avoid what made /r/scifi such a dreary place. You’re raising some great community-based questions and concerns and I hope people are paying attention.
You’re welcome!
I was genuinely surprised to see the downvotes, especially when I can see the effort you’re putting into trying to promote activity and discussions here.
I’m not - community behavior is something I think very carefully about and these kinds of potentially-toxic behaviors (passive-aggressive downvotes, no attempt to follow Rules #2 and #3) are exactly why I didn’t enjoy /r/scifi.
I’m not
I think you might have misunderstood my comment - I didn’t think you were the one doing the downvoting, I was expressing my surprise that others were downvoting you. Sorry if that wasn’t clear!
