At one time they were a go to source for latest discussion and talk and creative fan ideas but now it's just a smaller Reddit clique mentality. Any better alternatives?

I tried to get a discussion once going about the climate system of BOTW because I wanted to know how it worked and ways to improve it (besides allowing you to climb in the rain) as I felt a lot of unrealistic effects were present but nobody understood me and the same shit posts overpowered mine. I called out on said shit posts and got infractions and nearly banned. I had quit going as I felt they went out of their way to make me feel unwelcomed.

I noticed a lot of users that used to be there are gone and it's just the same couple of people and few mods chewing the fat in the same threads eventually circling the wagons.
