postgarden was another really active spinoff but that one turned into a slashie death cult. i liked wddp. i think i'm facebook friends with like 30 lf refugees but i don't know anyone's username

Postgarden/postplace banned slashie and was going okay (safe place to post with buds) until the admin committed suicide.

LF economics thread talked about econ and I learned a lot during the financial crisis

CSPAM economics thread posts "nubmer go up" and only talks about stocks, maybe coins
Yeah people used to try to educate one another and there was a competitive atmosphere where posters strove to outdo and challenge one another.

Here when I tried to post about the destruction of libya being bad and used more than two sentences people said it was prolix(?). and everyon had a meltdown and complained in qcs because guyovich said Bernie wasnt a communist and had flaws in some thread for hooting and hollering about bernie. Sad

There are still some threads where this happens. It seems to happen less and less because a lot of the good posters were pushed out of this forum. You can look at what happened with the marxism thread as an example.

it was gated though and there had been lots of purges by then though so it was pretty quiet with the main active threads probably being mental health thread and video games thread. i would still say though that not only was lf better than cspam but wddp and rhizzone were too, while they were popping

Yeah and honestly for me the most abject lesson was that you have to be ungated but struggle together (criticize constructively) otherwise you see stagnation and dissolution

Did the 2016 election have as many funny posts in cspam as 2008 had in lf? I feel like part of the nostalgia for lf was due to the sheer volume of comedy that came out of the news cycle in 08. 2016 was also very funny but I could imagine a lot of liberal-ish posters being so chagrined by the rise of trump that people made less jokes about it. I wasnt posting here then though.
