So I’ve been meaning to make a post about this for a while, but haven’t had the confidence bc ik a lot of people would disagree. So let’s remind ourselves what this website is for… it’s about sharing your love for your craft, and bringing joy to others, and ourselves by making crochet patterns. I feel like it’s become a Reddit-discord community with a little bit of crochet. Ive seen lots of people that joined before it was like this, and now they either they aren’t very active, or just leaving completely! This really breaks my heart because they used to enjoy it to share their craft and since it’s not about that anymore… they just leave.
I know multiple people feel the same way, we all agree it’s not about political opinions religion, or anything in that area. It’s ok if something like that come up, a they ask what you think about it, feel free to share your opinion; but I feel like it should stay in pms or just something that’s not public, because I know others feel uncomfortable with those kind of topics. I know there are spaces for other topics, but I feel like it overtakes the crafty ones like it’s more common than not that I’ll see a non craft discussion post than a craft related one.
I definitely don’t think it should be restricted to only crochet, but i think more people need to be posting about that, than the other stuff that’s been going on.
If you disagree or agree please leave your opinion in the comments, but don’t want this to become an argument, so be nice please.
i really do agree with this.
this app isnt really made for discussions that arent really necessary and or uncomfortable to others. please keep this app friendly and crafty. keep it the way it’s meant to be! 
I really agree with you.
And it’s true Abt the fact people leave because of that and I love this app but it is overwhelming to see al those other things that aren’t knitting crocheting sewing. I hope people understand that this is a crafty app and not something to discuss.
I hope everything will be like how it was when I started on here 
Y.E.S. I see so many topics and chats about stuff that would fit better on another site. This isn’t just social media, it’s a CREATIVE SPACE. Flagging shouldn’t have to be a thing. People shouldn’t have to be banned because they said something that doesn’t belong here in the first place. Thanks for bringing this up pickle. It’s so sad that people are leaving because of this.
Yes I want everyone back I miss them all 
I agree. This app was originally made for people who wanted to sell their patterns and connect with fellow crafters on here but this app is turning into a jumbled mess. It is very disappointing that people had to leave because they got overwhelmed. :(. Flagging really shouldn’t be an issue either because the flags were originally made for if someone said something inappropriate or bothering (though if someone is doing that , you can tell them to stop). People shouldn’t feel the need to leave this app because of something absolutely ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing!
We do allow casual chat, and there’s a specific channel for it, however topics should remain mostly around crafts related as mentioned on our guidelines. You can use Personal spaces 
for others things, but we want to keep topics meaningful and encouraging discussions.
If you do see something that violates are guidelines please flag it. Flagging isn’t a negative thing, it’s a way to help us keep the community neat and to the point. There’s no account penalties for flags unless there’s a violation so don’t hesitate to use it!

I definitely agree with this! Lately saw some people discusing this things in the chat and I believe it really doesn’t make some people comfortable…well I hope it gets better soon​
Totally agree <3 that’s kinda what Reddit, discord, and private group chats are here for.
I agree to a degree yes it is a craft app but i still think that people should be able to talk about a little more then just that. I definitely agree that people should talk more about crafts cuz this is kinda turning in to a mess but there are some people like me too who found ribblr for the crafts and then made some friends and sometimes you wanna talk with your friends about every day stuff and not just crafts but i do really think thay people should talk more about crafts
I know right? Some people use this app as if it is Instagram.
Totally, I wanna see everyone’s creations!
Thank you ribblr! Btw love all your patterns!!!
I just crocheted a pink whale lol
I am working on a gingerbread duck
But they talk more Abt politics and other stuffs that aren’t allowed I think that if you wanna talk about it that there needs to be a private gc or like those message thing when you have testers (idk the name rn) but I agree with you and with pickle
Yeah that i get that it makes people uncomfortable and i agree that it shouldn’t be allowed (i have done that myself and i am so sorry i didn’t realize how much it affected people)
I 100% agree with the first part, but I feel like sometimes people get suspended before the case gets reviewed by the team, and that leads to users getting upset. maybe the user is insecure, or could possibility (TW:) delete themselves, and that’s why they talk like they do or violate the Terms&Conditions. maybe a friend on ribblr is helping them talk through it so they don’t get the wrong ideas. but they cant now because they are suspended. I am not trying to argue, just share my thoughts.
thank you for your time.
I completely agree with this, but I didn’t want people to be mad at me for posting it. THANK YOU 
I feel like there are more posts about personal things than craft things, I usually just ignore those things.
Please keep it crafty 
i agreee!!! when i first joined it was such a fun place now its kinda weird like ill go to the chat and theyll be talking ab really weird things ( dont get me wrong i do it too sometimes) but its like ALL the time now
