    Wouldn’t choosing to maintain the fake sense of status that running an online community creates instead of deleting it because of the harm it does or will do definitionally narcissistic? Or is there a requirement here for such actions to be a lifelong pattern?

      i would just change it to self-centered. this is an online topic that’s not worth the argument and also narcissism unfortunately does have lightly ableist connotations now since the word has now been medicalized

        i think calling people narcissists is kind of a reddit-logoism in general and should be abandoned entirely for that reason when as you said ‘self-centred’ accomplishes the same aims.
