Hey all,
It seems like that outside the GC sub most of this site seems to be hard right wing as is common with all free speech websites. Since a lot of right wing positions tend to be pushed off the mainstream websites, they seem to find haven on sites like these and it quickly devolves into George Soros conspiracies among other questionable things.
This is not to say that all right wing opinions are questionable, far from it, but it does dissuade people who may be more left wing from participating because their views seem so unwelcome, especially when the entire comment thread on certain s/politics threads skew one way.
I realize that reddit had the same problem but with the left wing dominating the platform, but I feel that we can do better here to get a balanced ratio between both view points. I suspect that as reddit and other sites turn off more and more people, we may get a bigger influx of left wingers.
For now though, if we all stay away from ad homs and debate in good faith we should be mostly fine. Just decided to make an observation that im sure many here already made.
EDIT: Just wanted to clarify that conspiracy theories can be apoltical and don't want the post to come off as only right wingers are capable of spewing conspiracies.
