I never posted there but it's really stupid that they closed down a board people congregated on to discuss politics.

Even more messed up is that the community there got zero warning it was going to happen so they didn't have time to back up threads or posts or discuss somewhere else to go. They were just scattered to the winds one day seemingly on a whim.

Agreed. That's why I mainly post on my underground MGTOW board. We archive anything and we protect free speech.

Its cocked up CE with like 5x more politics shitposting. Fandom clearly doesn't understand community management fundamentals....you cant just ban away a discussion culture by removing a board. By their logic, tearing down tent cities solves homelessness.

Its the canary in the coal mine for CE getting shut down. I dont see how they cant. CE is clearly against the same rules (political discussion) as 261 was.

I'm pretty bummed

I didn't use it all that much but I find the attitude of "Oh you come to message boards to talk to people? How weird!" very strange.

It's just further limiting discussion.

And considering how far-right social media has gotten and how utterly shit Reddit has always been, places you can actually talk about politics are few and far between now.

Second I didn't even know there was a politics board so I never used it.

Mad might be too strong a word, but it kinda is disappointing to have 261 gone since it often served as a springboard for finding political information. Say what you want about the trolls and the toxicity, but as a lurker it actually had it's uses lol.

Why not just ignore the shitposter regardless of lineage?

It's not like figuring out the exact user is gonna make the posting better.

Mad isnt the right word, but I miss it. It was nice to have a place that focused on political topics, and its archive went back over a decade. It was fun to jump to the end sometimes and look at posts about the 2012 race. I also picked up on a lot of stories I would have missed in the MSM.

CE is fine, but it moves too fast. Topics I want to follow get purged before I even finish them. That never happened to me on 261 because of the archive. (Of course there were still some topics that got deleted/removed.)

Not so much the closing itself, so much as doing it instantly and not allowing anyone to save anything from there.
