I think this is a good point too that hasn’t been brought up much. I have also reduced my participation in NSFL general server in a large part due to just distasteful conversation and memes. I used to hang out in there all the time but stopped for those reasons. I know of many others who are in the same boat.
So, I do just keep my mouth shut and leave sometimes, as evidenced by the fact that I’m rarely in general anymore.
But I think this would go to show that “safe for NSFL general server” might not be the best metric for judgement anyway. Obviously you can’t just restrict anything that could possibly offend someone, but we have a pattern even in the General discord from what I’ve seen. This is the most important part, I think. Because what do we say when we are getting a lot of new guys? “everyone be on your best behavior” and many of the older and more mature guys will work to cover up embarrassing off color memes or whatever so that new guys aren’t scared off or offended. These are signs that we know we’re pushing it in general chat even, and can and should do better.
