You have some good points.
I don’t notice the antisemitism that you mention. Maybe I’m just not paying attention well enough.
It’s true that civilized discourse has deteriorated here over the last 25 years. But that is the case EVERYWHERE. Sometimes you have to go with the flow. Wanting things to be like the good ol’ days is fun, but it won’t change anything.
I’m 50-50 on the functionality. It would be nice to be able edit or delete your own posts, to include images more easily, and to “like”. Search is terrible, but I can more quickly find what I’m looking for on FR via Google search.
I do like the layout for Reply, Private Reply, follow back to posts being referred to, checking to see if there are replies. It makes sense to whatever half of my brain is calling the shots. I’ve never figured out the flow of the “threads”/comments on X and similar sites.
Anyhow, I get where you’re coming from. I visit other conservative sites and always come back here.
Best to ya!
It is usually anti-Israel. Some examples here:
