Can't say if it's an increase over previous years but I do notice a lot of culture war posts. Topics are usually an endless repetition of cancel-culture/COVID/gender/trans debates that just devolve into flamewars. I watch "new" and notice it's frequently the same users who insist on bringing it up.
The comments have nothing novel to discuss, just endless rehashing of the same battles over and over. Guidelines warn against using the site to wage ideological battles, so I usually just flag and move on.
- the_only_law 5y agoThere’s a proclivity recently to justify these posts as “on-topic” by citing the most vague guidelines. I’ve seen the following quotes used more than a few times to justify those threads > Anything that good hackers would find interesting. > Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.
