Although it began that way, that's 100% inaccurate today. Most threads have low noise with high civility. The biggest, meta debates are about whether politics should be included or about a politically-incorrect topic/comment. The last debate had the voting majority, the politically-correct folks, push for every thread to allow for making political points or calling people out. Which they do here and there with debates following.
Most of the time it's chill, though. Just pointing out that it has a specific, political leaning that readers here may like, not like, or not care one way or the other.

It'd be interesting to have a reddit/HN type comment threading but allow users to flag their own comments as political in nature or not, and also let users decide whether they'd like to see political discussion (account/Subreddit basis, with a toggle at the top of all posts). Whether or not to allow political discussions is one of the more common tricky points in these forums it seems.
- narag 7y agoSo is it becoming impossible to have an interesting site without politics? Makes sense because some people are determined to introduce it wherever they go, there's always a way to do it and no good way to avoid it. Specially when there's a karma system that enables the up/downvotes wars.
