Reddit has come under much criticism lately for a multitude of things; the unfair banning of r/frenworld, the quarantine of r/The_Donald, and other assorted crackdowns upon any place that allows right-wing ideology.

Dissent, on the other hand, is a site created for its users. No Chinese investors, no admin or moderator censorship. As a matter of fact, every time a moderator takes an official action - be it banning someone or stickying a post - anyone will be able to see both it, and the reason why. And right-wing ideology is not only accepted, but encouraged at Dissent. The same goes for left-wing ideology - the site doesn't pick favorites. This means that both Frenworld and CTH and AHS and T_D could all exist on the same time on Dissent without any having to worry about undue censorship or mod abuse.

It is for these reasons that I ask you head over to https://dissent.cx , and see what we're all about.

Well let me clear it up for you.

My problem concerning JS is that basic site functionality should not be dependent on it. JS is for gravy on top, not basic site function.

The thing is users have no way of knowing if a site is using malicious JS code. The only way for a user to find out is to let JS run, then if the sites JS is malicious they are screwed and might not even know it. As a result many users disable it. NoScript is one of the most popular addons ever created with good reason. If a site relies on JS for basic site function, well you see the problem. Many devs don't even know what the JS on their own damn sites is doing. Cross Site Scripting is a thing. A very bad thing.

Also many sites break in a number of browsers when the sites dev doesn't know how to gracefully degradate, Poals devs have exhibited this particular incompetence.

website should run without JavaScript.

Exactly. JS is needed for fancy animation, effects, etc. But if I just want to read the basic text and click hyperlinks, I should be able to do so without a problem.
