This was a good start to an article but it feels like it just stopped halfway through.

I tell it my feelings and the general format of thing to make, and then by reading my feelings reflected in an impersonal way or told in a novel kind of format it makes me feel a little better about things, I guess? Like I can look at this and say it’s very silly and overly dramatic and stupid without being down on myself a lot, you know? I dunno, it’s hard to explain but it’s cathartic in a unique way.

if you wanted a super exclusive forum where you can control exactly what is said, who says it, when they say it, and who can view it

ehhhhh I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. This sounds like it’s simply damage control.
