Yesterday a few of you decided to go over to Reddit and kick the beehive...The predictable things happened. Every comment and post on Reddit was down voted to oblivion and the users were generally hostile calling Poal a den a right wing neo-nazis.

Also predictably, a few of them followed the trail back here and started posting pro-Democrat/anti-Trump content... and a few of you got triggered like a PETA member on a hunting trip.

If the first time you see content that does not reverberate with the echo chamber properly you instinctively reach for the down vote button then you are making this place no better than Reddit. That is the top of the slippery slope to vote brigades, shadow bans and censorship. Or did the users that down voted WANT Poal to be an echo chamber? DId some shills just out them selves?

Do better. BE better.

- I'm looking at you. Grow a fucking backbone

The downvote button is not an I disagree button, that is what the submit comment button is for. Come on guys we are better than that.

Come on guys we are better than that.

As I said to , trolls are fair game for the down-vote. At least, that's how I've been viewing it for the past couple of years.

I spent a couple minutes yesterday with someone calling me a nazi over and over, I'd like to think that after I ignored that accusation the person was forced to think a little bit. Win hearts and minds.

Boobs, I have done the same in the past, feeding small bites to trolls just to be more open and welcoming. I'm more likely to engage with someone who trolls me directly than someone who just flutters in, shits on the front page, then flies off.

, imma have to go with Boobs on this one. While I get the concern, I will go with him. That's a pretty heavy accusation that guy was throwing at us.
