I agree. But if it becomes more and more prevalent (as there is literally no end to content like this), other posts will become more and more obfuscated. And my worry is that once the flood gates are open, it will be very difficult to moderate.
I could be wrong, of course, but I see no good reason that GAW won't suffer the same fate of TDW, going down this road.
Serious question. I've been around since the domreddit T_D and migrated to TDW. Don't remember anything in particular happening to TDW. I thought they just all cucked out after the sham election and naturally, I migrated over here because I don't like quitters. Does TDW even exist anymore?
I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. I go back from time to time, but it's just not the same. Mostly full of directionless, chaotic frustration.
What I've heard is that the moderation is absolutely out of control now (although it's gotten pretty extreme here too, based on my occasional looksie through the logs), and that real information is often censored. Becoming the very thing they hated. I can't personally confirm the moderation issues there because I'm not on it enough, but enough people are saying this same thing for me to believe it's credible.
It also appears to be much more glowie-ridden than it ever was.
But it's so easy to read the headline and then NOT click the link...

Huh.... I never even think about moderation unless I'm smashing the deport button. I would imagine it's a thankless job
