I have a suspicion I know what the issue is, and it's not Soylent News per se. Instead it's about 3 'uniquely active' users. In a way though it's kind of ironic. I do think these handful of users will gradually kill the site (and I agree it already is feeling like they've succeeded), and nothing will be done about it due to ideology of the site. Freedom tends to be self destructive when a minority of people abuse that freedom but stay just within the cusp of the law. Interesting that this issue is identical to what's happening in real life. Makes me wonder what systems will ultimately prove sustainable in our modern age.
Yep..But there are more than three. Yourself included, even though you generally post AC.
Your racist/authoritarian shitposting as walls of text don't help.
Fusty's shill posts and AC sockpuppeting gets pretty tired.
And while Runaway1956 has moments of clarity, he generally spews false information, from ignorance and malice.
It's good to talk about this stuff, because it's clear that there is disagreement among users here. That's a GOOD THING™, as it promotes discussion and debate. Who wants to live in an echo chamber? Exaeta, apparently. Facebook is good for that.
The tenor of comments on this site is generally pretty right-leaning. There are a bunch of centrists here who generally take that as a call to duty [xkcd.com], but they are often shouted down with bullshit arguments and attempts to discredit the data linked by them.
Sure, some folks can be pretty shrill, but there are those of us who prefer facts and evidence to broad brush pronouncements that don't comport with objective reality.
