Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.

Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."

    Yup, the only thing this site has thays moderately revolutionary in the forum/social media sphere is the fact that we seem to have actually achieved some sort of zen. Ive never used a site that had so little bickering and fighting. Any we do have is usually short lived and all the anger is directed the right way and resolved.

    This is only good because sites that generate rage and conflict suck you in more and take up a huge amount of your mental energy. One that doesn't feed off your anger is good because you'll use it less.

    This place is like terminally online rehab lmao

      True. Thinking about it, I realize it was way easier for me to log off from here when we had those early struggle sessions. Feels nice.

        I've noticed that while I come here a lot and comment/read, I never get in arguments. When a reddit thread or a Twitter thread gets linked here, I can feel the difference going to those places.

        The way in which I engage here is totally different than the highly gamified Reddit experience and the void screaming hivemind of Twitter.
