Yeah I’ve lost faith in this place and I say that as a staunch leftist. It’s an echo chamber so what’s the point, isn’t that just a circlejerk? I wanted to impact change but here you can’t do that you can either agree on everything or be downvoted.

The positive in all this is I spend less than an hour on here a day on average, compared to previously or Reddit where it could be hours.

    Shh. Don't tell anyone, but the votes here don't matter much. (At least for now.) When a post gets less than 20 comments, even the lowest voted response gets seen.

    That said, I stay on my toes regarding courtesy and accepting correction when I'm wrong, because I think users are quick to block anyone who siesta seems to be arguing in poor faith. (Which is me projecting, because I am so quick to block if someone is talking past others instead of with them.)
