Update: I left the Wild Life community on 2024-11-08 with the following message (reproduced from memory):

This is the end of the road for me (this time for good). I used to think that I was part of a community, but lately I've come to realize that it's more like a shouting match: People post stuff but mostly don't engage with what others post. (Some people even think it's fine to post 10+ pics at once in the media sharing channel even though it drowns out the work of others.) The devs have never been interested in steering this in a more productive direction. And creating content, answering questions and engaging very rarely gets acknowledged by the devs even though it's this kind of behavior that builds community. Many once active users have burnt out: They show up only occasionally to post something and then disappear again for long periods of time. If this is how things are gonna be, I don't see the point in investing further effort. I will find a new creative outlet. Peace out.

Someone told me on another platform that the devs have deleted my message. It does not surprise me that they would rather delete my criticism than try to address it. They seem totally uninterested in managing the community that has formed around WL, e.g. by encouraging desirable behavior and discouraging undesirable behavior.
