It's still better than before. I do think there's a lot of rather empty restatements of known facts posted as thought they are refutations, and at times full of condescension as though these facts are not already the premise of arguments being made. And I don't even just mean this week. And generally it seems like length related to the above leads to bias in moderation. Many times where nothing new is said but a short reply is whapped. I do not attribute this to anything other than good faith confusion of length and effort or "showing your work".

UCS Hellmaker posted:Current events is still literally an echo chamber that is basically Dems suck 24/7 or Dems are the fault of everything bad cheerleading.  This is so clearly not true as to seem like more of the bad faith attempts to assert ideological supremacy via working the refs that lead to Koos being put in charge.

Nameless Pete posted:Make a "Violent Communist Overthrow of the United States: Yea or Nay?" thread and then ban anybody discussing it outside there because that's the only topic of discussion that the usual band of Stalinists will allow anywhere else. That's fine but it will inevitably lead to every criticism of Dems being described as being that. We already regularly see "Can you solve all political issues? No? Then shutup."

If sounds like we need more poll threads so posters can express more otherwise contentless up or down assessments of political actions.

doingitwrong posted:In order to out some transphobes and test the moderators, you set up a bunch of trans people to deal with more transphobia. That sucked. I wish you hadn’t done it. I think it's misguided to blame the OP. OPs don't have actual power to set or enforce rules. The people who do can lock the thread and edit the OP Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Apr 24, 2022 |

Slow News Day posted:I only occasionally skim USCE these days, and about 95% of the “debate” that happens in it seems to be along the lines of “here is why this terrible thing that the GOP has done is actually the Dems’ fault” and “USA is the root cause of all evil in the world, because even when it isn’t directly involved, here’s my Well Reasoned Argument for why it created the conditions for it!” Counterpoint, much of the debate seems to be posters who connect the dots to other issues being yelled at for not sufficiently yelling about how bad Republicans are, even though we all take this as a given, which is then characterized exactly like this. This is the worst posting and there's so drat much of it.

Maybe it's an issue of only having one thread on the topics. Maybe posters can level up into other threads and trans posters can stay away from "baby bigots learn here" threads. This inevitably ends with the bigots going to the other threads Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Apr 24, 2022 |
