Although I like this site, it gets annoying that people don't seem to post any original thought.
It's basically a bunch of groups that all post links, with some click bait at the top.
Not that entertaining, since there are a million other outlets for stuff like that.
Not to mention the Nigerian "Help me move my money" scam I got sent through DM. Yeh they really need to clean house before this takes off.
I have actually engaged in quite a few substantive discussions, but I've also appreciated many of those links you mentioned. I don't think I would have found some of the sources of information otherwise because I simply don't like wading trough so much internet material. However, recommendations here have helped narrow things down and made it much easier to locate good sources or critiques of the news and current events. I guess you could say that it has served not only as a place for some good discussion (should I choose to engage in it) but also as a sort of news&commentary aggregator. I appreciate both aspects.
Be brave start a topical discussion. Prepare for counter argument in peace.
A few people keep us up to speed on the post boards,and kinda hog the feed, but there is conversation if you seek it out.
Start a discussion?
