    On one hand I’d really like to receive something like this but the part where someone photographs you and uploads it for clout is really offputting.

      I don’t think it’s for clout. I think it’s to show other people how nice life can be. Sometimes we need a reminder to appreciate the people we love.

        Fair enough. I think for me it just seems too intimate to be a “let’s show other people” focused moment, but everyone’s different.

      If you don’t like stuff like that, you maybe shouldn’t visit this community, lots of wholesome stuff is like that.

        I don’t think “if you don’t like it, then get out” is a very wholesome sentiment

        Something tells me you shouldn’t be the gatekeeper for this community

          I read it as “if you don’t like it, then a place where it’s the explicit purpose might not be for you,” which is pretty wholesome in its earnestness to me.

            Yeah, that describes it better. Thank you for writing that out, I do get it I should have elaborated but you can only write as much.

          Alright. Let me turn your point if view around. Assuming I want to be the gatekeeper for wholesomeness when I never even said so is not a very wholesome sentiment. Does that make you a gatekeeper for this community?

        Thanks @RootBeerGuy but I’m all good.

        I like this community a lot, and this is the first time I’ve ever been disconcerted after clicking.
