It's a good community. The part I struggle with is the anti-science trend I've seen here over the last 10 years.


For me, it's the politics. There's a certain kind of user that keeps pushing them here, to people who don't care about them, and which are barely related to technology if even. If you point it out, they will say "everything is political"...

I feel like this is kind of pedantic - if your definition of the word "political" renders their point moot, then clearly they must be using a different definition.

But I understand what you mean. The problem is that 99% of online discussions about politics are not about how it relates to anything else. They are usually the same 5 conversations rehashed over and over again. And for some reason, they are aggressively derailed in that direction.
