Is there an online politics and policy forum that for its topics matches the quality that HN achieves on technical topics (or does better)? Specifically, I mean the knowledge value of comments, the expertise and sophistication, and the lack of flaming and trolling.
I have yet to find one with a signal to noise ratio that is even nearly worth my time. Most are filled with misinformation, partisan spin, and propaganda attacks, none of which I learn much about (except what the latest misinfo, spin, and propaganda is). I want a forum that's focused on informing its members.
- vanattab 9y agoIt's not much better but some times there is good info on r/askpolitics
- siimtalvik 9y agoGive /r/NeutralPolitics a shot. It's a heavily moderated subreddit focusing on well sourced content. Essentially, if a comment(fact) doesn't have a respected source attached it gets booted.
- forapurpose 9y agoThanks! At first glance that looks pretty good. At least, no flames or propaganda (so far).
