How does one discuss current events without discussing politics? So many folks nowadays have made politics their whole identity.

Alas, we live in a reality where a global pandemic became a political issue.

Actually, 261 was the very first thing that came up in my very first discussion with the Fandom community team many months ago. They are aware of and (at least as of now) have not raised any concerns over CE.

The thing is, now all the politics topics are going to be one CE, it doesnt seem unreasonable they would put a soft ban on political topics on CE as well in the near future

Just being transparent, my dude. Always have, always will. I really have no skin in this game as most of my day to day is focused on other brands now, but I'll always have a soft spot for GF so I keep involved here as much as I can.

Fandom's MO is small changes that don't feel like a big deal at first, but slowly turn into a pile of shit over time. If that is the only casualty, nothing big lost, but I feel like it'll just be the first of many.

I've seen this before, in the eFront era. It's happening all over again, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's substantial personnel overlap.

I mean, he did post a lot of information about himself that he shouldnt have. But anyone who actually tracked him down on other websites or IRL was way out of line and any resentment he holds is justified

okay. i want to believe you.

is the Fandom community team aware that shutting the Politics board down will just make the users there migrate to other boards? chiefly it seems to CE?


More importantly, do they give a shit or is it just a wiping of hands and hi5s because there isn't a board named "politics" anymore.

While that might sound like a good idea it wouldn't work. You can't stop people from talking about that stuff. It's better to just have a designated space for it.

I didn't think CE was in danger at all until the "informal clarification" that mentioned that the karma level was raised to 30 on CE and it is "only temporary". Now I think CE is in the chopping block

There was very little discussion going on. One user flooding it with guys guys republicans are bad topics, the what did Kevin Sorbo tweet? topics, and What is Elon Musk up to? topics.

In place of discussion were the same memes, users lining up to dogpile, and my favorite....being lumped in with the fascists for simply asking for a source when someone posts a random guy on twitter news.

You made an incorrect assumption and doubling & tripling down on it. Do you have anything real to say? I made my point. Youve done nothing but make insults and now a threat?
