Long live Matt Zimmer.

 He’s said plenty nice things on my behalf, even today, and I’ll just state on the record that the only reason I made a blog account in the first place was to stay close by him.

The writing was pretty much on the wall that Toonzone was useless by the time I got here. And I don’t know. I could never be him. Genuinely not a pissing match of “oh, I’m not a great user, YOU are!” I mean I genuinely don’t put as much confidence or belief or effort into the things I do the way he does for himself. He’s got boundaries and standards as opposed to me and he handles any little thing with as much care as deserved. It’s an empowering headspace like none other.

How does one get an anonymous note on Toon Zone? Curious about that.

[classicswim]

I’m talking about just the “reason for comment deletion:” you get in notifications sometimes.

[matt_zimmer]

Oh, THAT. That is famously unhelpful. Honestly, those should not exist.

[classicswim]

At the very least there shouldn’t be anonymity attached if they’re gonna even vaguely personalize a notification. They like to think they’re equal cogs in the machine when they’re not.

[matt_zimmer]

That's actually poor form.

To be honest, I've had plenty of Mod notes telling me they understood my frustration. But they've never been thoughtless enough with me to offer anonymous support via a notification. That's not right.

[classicswim]

That’s all I could even get hahahaha.

Any type of comment that validates your stance and how you feel, even by a smidge can go a long way. It would’ve been the proper push needed to just let things go, but it’s clear they’d rather wait til there’s a spiral or blowout to finally take charge.

Even a year ago, it wasn't like that. This is a relatively new problem. I have no idea why.
