imo it has, but it was bound to happen like many other communities, the more the network grew, the higher of a risk it became cuz it's just a natural part of growth. back then for example it wasn't as toxic for a time because it was small. there weren't many toxic groups. there were just people. this was when there was just one node and the community was starting to slowly spark. after years and years, along with sponsorships, videos, paid advertisement listings, the community gradually grew until it became the size it is now and, it's just a problem many communities face, especially public communities that aren't age gated or don't have a higher age target audience, and I'm sure some day the rules, policies, and moderation guidelines will change a little bit to try to crack down on it more. my unsolicited advice for everyone is to try to set a good example for the others. that little bit can go a long ways, and be sure to report any negative behavior. disclaimer: opinions expressed are my own and don't reflect the staff team
