User blog comment:KawaiiUnicorn/Why I'm leaving CC chat (Or not showing up as often)/@comment-4142476-20150912210357

Hi. Do you want to know something silly? When I first came to CC chat, I found it really restricting and thought no one listened to me. But I stuck around anyway, and guess what? It wasn't what it seemed like. I'll never know if being active changed it or if I grew adjusted to it, but after a little while I felt really at home.

I think sometimes, places change. We change too. But I also know that part of how the chat is, can be changed by how we—its regular visitors—behave in it. Do we want it to be fun and welcoming? It can be fun and welcoming. Do we want it to be helpful and attentive? It can be helpful and attentive. But also: do we want people we don't like to leave? We'll get drama and an unpleasant environment. I think we could try to be patient and tolerant and I hear you think "oh she can talk big, she's the one who kicks and bans instead of being 'patient and tolerant'" but I mean it.

In breve not to waste more words: chat doesn't need to "go downhill". We don't need to leave chat and wish for it to get better in the meantime. We can work to make it a friendly and welcoming place. One of which you can be happy to call it your "home wiki".

Also, my skype is ethear. Am always open for a chat. Good luck!
