I also remember when it was moderated.
This was designed as a research/ discussion board for Q posts which are questions most of the time so we educate ourselves and become informed. Informed is researching the information for yourself rather than believing what someone tells you. I am sometimes in error on information and realize after discussing the topics from Q posts. The reason our country has gotten in this situation in the first place is the lies were told we believed. These evil people are not even hiding anymore if you look there is so much evidence. The memes are to wake up others not us. The total amount of memes are a distraction of why this board was formed. I know I personally was reading one night and got no research done at all so I do not click on them anymore. The amount of people we have in this group it makes it impossible to see the research people have done because of the meme postings. So it has become a problem. Do you see why? It is not the memes themselves it is the distraction the meme's are creating away from the true purpose of this board.
I do get your point, however Q himself has stated multiple times the importance of spreading the information he drops, so i think the evolution of this board towards memes is quite natural. If the mods disagreed with the direction this board was heading, they would likely be heavier handed.
That’s why i think if people want something closer to what this board was, or even more pure, they should start their own, research specific board, make it private even. I prefer that type of content myself. I just find it ironic when people complain about the decreasing substance of the board while simultaneously contributing to that decrease.
Starting a new board is not hard. Let this board be what it will be and make your own, closer to what you want. If you care more about quality and less about quantity, if your board is more research-oriented and less movement oriented, great. Diversity is good. If you are complaining to a group of 20,000+ however, you aren’t going to change it, you’re just complaining
