[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The political forum is a disaster.

On the whole, it's not bad. I've noticed that, if anything, there's less censorship and moderation going on compared to even a year ago. There were certain protected topics that you just could not have a pragmatic discussion without getting censored and banned. [/quote]

[b]I agree that the censorship has lessened greatly.[/b]

DCUM has always been highly censored and if anything has become more so in the last 5-6 years, it just depends on what your views are. One side is hardly ever censored where the most wild things are posts and they gain traction, the other side sneezes and is blocked and posts deleted. [/quote]

No one sane wants to read your “alternate facts”.  :roll: [/quote]

I consider myself pragmatically in the middle and politically agnostic (which I suppose makes me a fascist in the eyes of some and a dummy in the eyes of others). I agree censorship has lessened. During most of the COVID years a lot of threads about covid, the origin of covid, Fauci and CDC and the vaccines were heavily censored to prevent criticism. And the other topic I've seen less censoring is sexual/gender identity, mainly trans. There was a period when you just could not talk about trans except in the most positive manner but I've seen posts openly critical of trans ideologies survive that wouldn't have been the case a few years ago.

This forum is heavily to the left, whether moderately center left Bill Clinton old school Democrats or to the far left rainbow queer identities and full out Trump Derangement Syndrome. There are some "Maga" but they are a distinct minority and half the time someone is accused of being "Maga" it's a far left person disagreeing with anyone to the slight right of them. [/quote]

Right-wing troll here:  the problem is the low quality of most right wing trolls here.  Mr. Steele actually moderates with a very light hand, and so long as you are clever and reasonably well-informed, he lets a lot go.  It’s more fun that he bans a lot of the lower-quality right wingers here, anyway—like when Howard Stern was on terrestrial radio and you got to see just how far he could push the envelope without getting punished by the FCC.  Actually the removal of the worst right-wing posts does the rest of us a service by screening out the riff-raff.[/quote]
