Even when I joined two years ago the standard was "please join because the thread is garbage and doesn't reflect the quality of the meetups". Still holds true today. Just gotta get into it unfortunately. Big barrier was/is the autist embargo that has at least calmed down a little bit (surprising, I know. The thread is actually better and has been more on topic than it was for half a year).
EU meets are comfy quiet times, NA meets are loud parties, SEA is fun exploration and games. The drama and shitposts are so monotonous and repeated that they're completely transparent to anyone who cares to look. No one actually cares outside of autists masturbating to the thought that they're potentially making someone's day worse. You ask anyone about the thread shitposts and the response is always "bless his heart" tier because it's of such little consequence but they try so hard.
