I subscribe to some pet subs to see cute pictures of cats and dogs to improve my mood and then every tenth post or so is “my poor dead cat”. I hate it, I never knew your catdog and now im slightly sad that its dead. Now I have to unsubscribe from all these cute pet subs cause y’all can’t not talk about how dead your pets are. Maybe join a support group or something.

    That’s not how life works. I don’t go around in public telling every random stranger about my dead mom and how much I miss her. That’s my burden to bear and would be completely inappropriate. The same goes for cute cat subs and there needs to be a rule preventing it.

      That’s not what’s happening here though. A community, however open to subscriptions, is still a closed off, alibeit permiable space. It’s like a community center that has a dog room. Everyone can see inside, everyone can be there, but no one is rubbing anything in anyone’s faces if you enter and see something you don’t like.

        Yes, that is what’s happening. This is a public space. There is no permission required to be here anyone can participate. Dropping your dead animal story on a crowd of people trying to brighten up their day is a dick move. That’s it that’s all. I’m done here. G’night!
