I believe I first saw it on that actual community, talking about itself:-).

The truly sad part is how such things hinder the progress of a community. The previous mod UltimateHalo got so upset that he not only left, but deleted his Reddit account entirely. People cannot so easily move things forward when there is such tremendous back-lash against anyone who speaks out at all. Like grastas had been introduced into the game already for TWO WHOLE YEARS before I added them to the dungeon pages as items you could obtain - and I had barely beaten main story part 2 and gone to Underworld for the very first time, so I was not the best-positioned to do that, and instead rather the only one willing. The TTM is not explained well, the new Tactical Battle system does not have any page at all that does more than merely mentioning that it exists, and so on - “we” as a community are turning people away, as those who used to help naturally move on and get busy irl but nobody wants to engage with that toxicity and take up the slack.

And there are now ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FOUR characters in the game!!! Surely not everyone is going to be so fortunate as to be able to pull AS Pizzica, Yakumo, Sesta, ES Toova, AS Lovely, Beautiful Stranger and so on, nor will newer players be able to unlock AS Cerrine right away, and characters are getting so VERY COMPLEX these days!! I really wish that “we” all could do something about that, but there is too much resistance to be able to make major structural changes.

My latest beef is how the wiki tier list says that various characters can “guarantee” Pain, e.g. Deirdre says:

Can inflict guaranteed Pain on all enemies, but without a fixed duration.

But it is not a “guarantee” anymore, b/c of status immunity barriers. That list was a nice try to make things more accessible, at one point in the past, but it is not for everyone, and it needs tinkering to help keep it up with the modern game. It works best for people who have beaten the game already and are transitioning into superboss battling (and even then there are major systemic issues - a lot of vets ignore it entirely actually), but for things like 1TnoAFs as you farm Clarte or Nona’s dungeon >1000 times for L/S, it is less than ideal. Moreover it does not consider the basic foundational concepts of the game, like what is a Lunatic, is there anyone who can modify a Lunatic, like extend it or (re-)activate it, etc.? So I created a Lunatic page for the former question, and last night tried to expand it to address the latter one but as usual ran into Template size limitation issues (maybe I can split it up like skills for character names A-M and then N-Z, or something). Thus I will have to postpone that project until I have caught up with the poison/pain page that explains like which characters apply it to all enemies vs. single target or random, whether it ignores resistance or not, how long it lasts (persistent, fixed-turn duration, or unreliable), whether it is delivered via an attack (and thus can trigger a reaction such as a counter-attack) or not, etc. Anyway, I can do what I can do, but there is nothing that I can do about the misunderstandings that will result from calling something a “guarantee” and then people see that it does not work.

Nor can I entice people to enter into the game and the community when they see that THAT is what awaits them, especially if they want to offer their help in making guides or wiki editing, or even just submitting their created content to the community for inspection. You remember a certain incident with clamb0… that stuff has a way of driving people away.
