Incredible toxicity in the chess community
Sort:
Some people just can’t let it go. No big deal
Some people just love to bait. :3c

I haven't seen this posted much anywhere else but I think it needs to be noted:
I've been playing chess for about a year and a half. Starting at like a 700 rating and I'd say I'm around 1250 now and still climbing (this account is new, so its around 1175)
However, this entire time over all my accounts, every time I attempt to jump into the forums and start some fun chess discussion with others I am immediately shown why chess gatekeeping is such a meme.
The amount of sheer toxicity in these forums rivals any other game I've ever played online. People use their rating like some kind of social credit system, interjecting every opportunity they get to flaunt it.
Beginners and intermediates can barely ask questions without being attacked for their skill or mistakes. As far as I'm concerned this is the absolute worst community I've ever seen and I wish it wasn't because I love chess.
go back to clash of clans if u want a real community
Lichess.org is less toxic. They don't like me promoting L.i.c.h.e.s.s.o.r.g but I don't care
what loser there are

toxity exists in every community
lchess has less because it has way less social features so you cant be toxic as much
