The influx of new users here has also encouraged a lot of unsavory denizens to relocate here as well.

I've already been harassed by a user and I am seeing a few trolls here and there posting with impunity and provoking users. We need better moderation or else shit will go downhill very fast here.

Unfortunately, it motivated people to post content that would be upvoted, which, given the state of popular posts on Reddit over the last year or so on Reddit, has become very different from "good" by which I take you to mean "valuable".

Give time for the dust to settle, and the shitposts and memes should congregate to a few communities, which can be filtered from our feeds if desired.

It seems (given the beans) that the newly enlarged user base is in the "spaghetti against the wall" phase of posting, just trying to see what sticks.

This to shall pass.
