This may be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of hate this? I think most communities are lazily moderated and I don't want to have every goon's unmoderated takes on whatever the topic is forced in front of my eyeballs.

The American system is far from ideal but I'm convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a "lack of choice" or "monoparty" are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the "The DNC installed Biden" language was all over Reddit.

I've never seen someone just blatantly lie about primaries not existing anymore though!

Well said and I'm glad to see this perspective expressed. "Entertainment" is the spice we give art to well, spice it up. But without the art part, pure entertainment is to our minds like eating a bowl of candy is to our bodies.

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that the whole interview is great

Someone said elsewhere that that whole plot is EXTREMELY in the vibe of TOS and it made me appreciate it a lot more.

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

I'm loathe to defend Reddit's moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.
