They really do find everything 'problematic' don't they?

I don't wish them ill will, I just think the whole idea of their instance and community is just... is it satire maybe?

is it a big joke I don't get? I dunno but they're way worse than lemmy grad. at least lemmy grad has an ethos.

It's astro-turfed to hell. If you can bend your political opponents views to serve your purpose you have effectively turned a -1 to a +1. They also do your dirty work by sowing infighting and reaping dissatisfaction.

Horse race reporting must be fed

It was bad enough when it was just cable news networks fighting for ratings. Now that engagement-first feeds are involved we have hundreds of billions of dollars dependent on making sure people are as ~~upset~~ "engaged" as possible.

If we just said no campaigning before the second Tuesday in August we'd eliminate a lot wrong with our politics. Suddenly you don't need to raise billions of dollars to be president because there's no way to spend it all in that amount of time. The cost to purchase other seats goes down similarly.
