AFF Etiquette

Is it just me or are AFF users losing the right etiquette that we should have while browsing through fan-fictions?

I'm not targetting against anyone but it just feels like the original organized and kind community that AFF used to have back then is missing
With random people cussing on authors just because the stories didn't end the way they liked, or worst case scenario, downvoting stories and even mass boycotting. (Okay I'm quite sure people who have been on this website for at least four years know what I'm talking about)

And especially attention seekers. Urgh
Not exactly calling them rude here but maybe it's just my personality that I especially hate it when people whine all over their blogs. Especially when it's like only two to three lines of ranting.

And people who scream out of nowhere just because they're pissed that they're pissed that they're pissed.
Never mind that wasn't relevant to the topic of this blog. Just ranting about a club teacher in school.

Sigh

Why so many immature people all over the internet

I understand what you mean. I started being on AFF almost 5 years ago and I missed that time because everyone was so friendly and so welcoming. AFF was my favourite website, I used to open AFF everyday but now it's like once or twice a week. Now, I'm spending most of my time being on ao3 instead of AFF.

I Agree It hasn't happened to me yet.
I've been here since 2012 and everyone was so kind back then.
The other day I got a subscriber, and I went to see if she had any stories too. I really enjoyed her fic, and when I went to comment I noticed this 1 comment that irritated me to no end. I was pissed at how someone could just criticize something that somebody worked hard on.
It's so disappointing how some people are online.

well, 4 years ago i was an immature middle-schooler, thinking i was all cool and stuff. now, if anyone does anything i did before, i'd get so annoyed at their immaturity. i guess it's all something we grow out of eventually?
