I think you have to to say that in America otherwise your neighbours talk to the FBStasi and get you watchlistes

“I’m simplifying things, of course.”

That’s where the editor should have said " Stop writing, and hit the showers, kid. No more words necessary."

Absolutely true and correct.

New site tag line plz mods

In Australia we say removed when we mean mate (congenially) and we say mate when we mean removed (aggressively)

Now I see the power of posting. Saved

Absolutely need to post this

This. They are just itching for an excuse. Comes off real strong “no politics in my video games” emergy.

Yeah, everything you are suggesting there ; BBC has you covered

I lurked the CTH reddit until it got nuked, but never posted. I joined this place because i missed the podcast discussion , and figured that some of the good vibes might still be found there … but this place has always been a weird, kinda alienating and uncommunal place IMHO .it IS an interesting place ,but without the titualar poscast as keystone (and the failure of left electoralism globally) i kinda wondered what would keep it it glued together. it was thoughtprovoking that the site removed downvotes. I’ve always believed that the interface influences the behavior and having a big yes/nope button makes people quantified consumers of other people. if you come from a marginalised place or are hanging on by your fingernails , the reminder that your contribution can be easily ignored or discounted probbably stings a bit more than if you have a bit more comfort or other social frames holding you. i guess that’s why i keep checking in to see how the site is changing/mutating . I do think that OP is right, that by postively advocating for what ever this site thinks it stands for it becomes more of a shared experience, rather then a constant free market of upbears and popularity contests
