I honestly don't know what this sub expects from people
I have been in this sub for years and years. I was here well before 2020 brought a lot of new interest to carbon steel and to be quite frank the state of things are probably the worst I've seen it. There's so much vitriol and negativity toward anyone asking (admittedly already answered) questions. But what would you have replace that activity? What would you rather see? A parade of check out my pan post? That's what google is for. You can google all the carbon steel your heart can desire. A sub of human beings, hopefully, is about communicating and sharing. The people who constantly want to ban post or people or whatever are completely missing the entirety of the point. Sure you might get frustrated and guide people to one post or the FAQ but to be so hostile is a disgrace. Carbon steel always prided itself against the elitism of Cast Iron and honestly the way it's going you shouldn't. I wonder if I've outgrown this sub if the biggest content on it are grownups being mean to each other about hot fucking oil.
edit: Apparently people have taken great umbrage to my call out of cast iron. When I first started here the general sub discussions were about the snobbiness of that sub so...that's it. Not discussing cast iron users only that this sub used to report ill will over there.
