I do wonder how much influence the *no-politics communities* app had on the decision to censor ConsumeProduct from the default "apolitical" front page.
I don't know what's with this obsession to make a site apolitical as if that's going to attract Reddit refugees. No one is going to join a site because of some shitty memes, you might as well just stay on the larger site (Reddit). No amount of front page curation is going to convince people who are off-putted by "muh racist nazis" to stay. At most it's going to make it more palatable for MAGA boomers.
Ruqqus tried to do the same and it failed miserably. They got their support from leftist Discord users, while ignoring all input from the actual user base. In the end they had to resort to censorship, in turn killing the site.
On that note, scored/ConPro suffers from LIKE / THEN / ELSE / etc shit meme floodposts,
among other slide tactics (eg muh internet points) What is the policy here? It’s already named arete as a Fed haven to dissuade user exodus.
