What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I'm thinking it's not as easy as I thought it would be to always comment on the top thread in the What's New>New Posts list when I first log in. Yesterday it was a thread that was all in German. Today it was a thread dedicated to being watched by a family member. (I skipped that one but now realize I do have something to comment on about that)

This thread was second on the list so I am commenting here about commenting lol - what a way to start my Lit sesh today!
 
Are the politics forums moderated? Is hate speech just allowed there? 🤔

The General Board and its sub-forums are not moderated.

Please do report such content, although the site owners are the only ones doing admin/mod work in those forums and it can take them a long time to get to it. I highly recommend using the ignore feature liberally over there and let the dregs of society scream into a void.

The better question is, why there is a politics board to begin with? It’s such a toxic counterintuitive board for a site like this one.

Politics used to be a huge part of the General Board. Laurel split off the politics board to give folks a dedicated place for that content. Many at the time were opposed to the decision, including me, but now I have to say that I’m really glad it’s somewhat contained.

That makes the most sense. What’s offensive to one person is not offensive to another. The mods don’t need to be getting into the middle of all that.

Also people have a tendency to use the report feature for retaliation hoping to get people they don’t agree with banned. It’s just a toxic fucking mess.
