Any of the southern coastal walks will be very nice tomorrow, like La Perouse, Kurnell and Royal National Park and you might even see some whales - but only the Royal National Park ones would have train access, you’d need a bus or car to the others. I think it’s still a bit of a walk from Otford to the track, and then it’s another 2 hours one-way to get to Era beach or so. What about going to Watsons Bay, or heritage walk in Vaucluse, presumably you can go to Edgecliff station? Another very good one starts from Mt Kuringai Station to Berowra station on the Benowie track (enter from Glenview Road) - very peaceful as not as well known as the southern ones.

Spot on, it’s not a race to be the first to comment, which can also degrade the quality of posting with 90% repetitive “clever” comments copied from the last time, and quality posts being buried, which then disincentivizes people with something useful to say, perpetuating that cycle. Combine that with quick karma and you fuel a system racing to the bottom.

You can also sort your feed to show new comments by default in your settings, it’s been really good in the smaller communities/instances/magazines.
