My opinion
on polintical forums .......they are dinosaurs dying out. They represent the greatest and last frontiers for anonymous political debate before society shifted to less private platforms such as social media.
The forum most have is the software of yesteryear, or rather of the late 1990’s to mid 2000’s and many do not exist anymore.
I rember the early days and the aol message boards. They were the best.
The problem that message boards seem unable to solve is simply the obvious one---impossible to get good moderators for the most part. There are a few good ones but not enough to make for a good board.
If they would pay the moderators that might help but another problem are the owners and their agendas....too often Anti-American and totalitarian in nature.
