This isn’t R. R is shit. That’s why you left. Stop trying to make this place like R. R still exists. If that’s what you want, go back there. R sucked because of the hive mind mentality and pandering for (pointless, imaginary) upvotes.
Don’t try and recreate that. R trained you to write and post in a certain way so that the owners of that private company could get maximum engagement for their advertisers and make money off of your eyeballs. Let it go. Be free. Let the weird web flourish.

Don’t forget the narwhal bacons at midnight and ten years ago people actually used to say that shit out loud lol
