Why did I join Derpibooru? · 3:22pm Jan 9th, 2019
It's a site I have become disillusioned with, and I regret joining in the first place.
I've been using FIMfiction less and less over the past 15 months because Derpibooru has been the site I've loved.
But, it has many issues:
- There is no "Block" button on that site, not even for PMs, and there never has been.
- The staff rarely ban users, and I have seen people hurling death threats like it's using a stressball and not only not get banned, but get defended by the mods, regardless of how ridiculous the mods have to be to defend that.
- The mods have threatened to ban me for trying to contest them on LyraBon being officially canon.
- The mods do not see themselves as being accountable for anything the site does, claiming it should not be equated to a personal interaction.

I guess part of the reason I liked it so much was because I wanted to look at pony images and it has a tag-by-tag filtering system. They put as many tags on an image as they can, and you can passively blacklist them. Or, you can passively watch certain tags. And I liked that.
But, it's problem is as I described, and it took the mods threatening to ban me over headcanons to realize it wasn't as good as I thought it was.
I mis using this site. I miss wanting to read. I miss wanting to have more maningful discussion. I miss having a community with some sense of self-control.
My question FIMfiction is simple: How do I break the addiction to Derpibooru, if any of you are reading this.
I guess the way to do it would be to simply stop.
My only advice to you for it all...is to simply just quit.
When a place like that becomes nothing but a cesspool for corrupt users, it’s better to just leave it.
Above all, never go back to it no matter how much temptation you have.
