Is FreeRepublic going away? There are fewer and fewer articles posted.
—
There are fewer and fewer news sources to draw from so many have been exposed so fraudulent or misleading or just fake. That may be one part of the explanation for fewer posts.
And posting from almost any source results in derision of the source and the poster. It's been a tough week. People are hurting, lashing out and attacking any opinion that doesn't match their own. There was a time when FR wasn't an echo chamber, and reasoned debate was the norm. I suspect some folks are taking a break and getting a little fresh air. Some will return.
Some are posting multiple articles within a specialty thread without posting on the forum.
