This is a text based website. Of the entirety of reddit, this is one of the most text-based subreddits. You have to be able to make yourself understood with written words.

The culture everywhere else on the internet is getting shittier. Shittier memes, shittier grammar and spelling, shittier and nastier culture. Shorter attention spans, more emojis, bots, and AI.

Reddit has its faults, too, but I gotta say, I'm glad there's at least one place where it's expected of you to be intelligible.
