I feel you. There is so much shit here that if you start paying attention to it, it fills your vision. But it’s dwarved by the awesomeness of the community. I went through a rough patch too but eventually I realized I should only be focusing on the shit for the sole purpose of figuring assessing whether or not there is something I want to change about myself to be better and feel better. I don’t like the uneven distribution of wealth here and used to complain about it. Later I realized, I could do a lot more by building a mutually supportive community, insisting on what I believe in and enjoying the process, despite the hardship, and continuing to build my own account so I can help spread the wealth to sincere people who also want to build the community.

You can do so much more leading by example than trying to “fight” for change. The behaviornis the same but the framing is very different.

I think SP delegation to any users who are much more focused on quality content and community building is a good move, especially users who are around 59-55 rep as I think those people will quickly be able to start supporting new minnows themselves. They’ve also probably been here long enough that they aren’t going to take off or take the support for granted.
