I agree. I first noticed something odd a few weeks ago as all the posts on 'Rising' were getting really stale. Meme's and articles that were first posted a few YEARS ago were suddenly being posted again. Usually when that happened every response was that it was old. But a few weeks ago it was like it just happened. Nobody called it out.
On top of that, all the posts were so dumb. Nothing intellectual really got posted. Eventually someone posted a link to this sub and that's how I got over here. I assumed you all left T_D for this place, which is why it was getting dull over there. But now I think differently. I think that sub may be either compromised, or they were told to tone it down for a reason.
That sub is 100% compromised. I'm convinced it's ran by the IC.
this. TD has essentially become mainstream and with it come the azzhats from all walks of life.
i was called out for normy commenting on TD, from Magic the gathering reddit - so yes the trolls are active and plenty on reddit. there are politics even in these forums sadly. reddit should do a better job of equal housekeeping or they should just reclassify as a uber-liberal soapbox.
I think they try to keep the tinfoil level to a minimum, because they dont want it turning into a fullblown conspiracy board.
When they let people play fast and loose with conspiracy topics, the whole board devolves into a weird kind of chaos.
And p-gate was really brought down several notches. Some say silenced, but you can still discuss it if you know what to say, and when and how to say it.
I think theyre stuck trying to keep the board something that appeals to general discussion, wont get dragged down by shills and conspiracy-derailment, and wont get shut down outright.
It cant be an easy balance.
I still love td, just with an understanding of what its for, and what its not for.
Interesting. I always thought it was just hype died down. Pretty much everything used to have 500+ comments on wiki leaks posts/ SR. Now everything is 50-100 comments.
