I have been trying to take a break for the last few days, but in seeing this I am glad I am not the only one. Slashdot/Twitter-esque comments have seemed more frequent here from suspiciously new users (think last few months, but some post-2023). It could be an increase in the popular consciousness but this theory is chilling to think about. This place is one of the few on the internet left without some mediating algorithm, and with (mostly) polite and curious users. The moderation is good, but one's mind can drift to chaos in times of relative serenity...
