Just wanted to say thanks to the host of this instance.

The mini essay was a great idea. I definitely believe it will keep out at least some level of the riff and the raff. As much as people may dislike the idea of a gatekeeper, I believe it will make and keep the community much more fun, friendly, and useful.

I feel much more at ease on this service than on Reddit. I don't feel like I'm arguing with bots and trolls. Or dealing with bad actors and agitators. I'm discussing things. Reading the actual articles. And not doom scrolling. The nature of this service seems more organic.

Again. Thank you for your time and service to this (hopefully) growing community.

I still agree with having a little about yourself blurb, it just steps a nice tone in my mind for what this community is about. That plus the introductions thread just let's people start feeling a community spirit and remember there's a real person behind that username.

I'm enjoying the small community conversations, the fact that the board game community I made less than a week ago only has started to grow is great, but moreso the fact that people are sparking interesting conversations from it is what validates this.
