I think there are some legitimate concerns here though. Not necessarily of the ideology the primary devs, but the way it manifests with a soft ban on certain topics (Ukraine), and how they seem fine letting lemmygrad trolls shut down basically every other world news thread. And I’m not talking about people having different opinions here - I’m talking about users who openly state that they seek to disrupt discussion in order to deny the information space to non-ML ideas entirely. I have reported a number of these comments which are blatantly and openly stating that they only intend to troll and disrupt and nothing ever happens. Yet if you take a slightly wrong tone in responding to the sel-avowed trolls they are quite quick with the ban hammer.
Yes, this and the broken comment context has made browsing seriously painful
