Too many people drop into threads, sound their dog whistle, and when questioned they ignore and slink off waiting for the next opportunity.
There should be a crack down on dropping a take with certain language (alt-right style buzzwords as Spirit mentions above) and not coming back to respond to posts that question it.
And half the time these posts don't even get dog pilled, they get a couple of users calling them out and asking for receipts and the user ghosts the thread.
Should be bannable, imo.
And Era is full of little microaggressions like this. As such I think moderations needs to ramp up heavily against any kind of post with a bigoted tone, and in the instances mentioned above force the user in question to either offer recipes or take the ban.
Agreed. As is the issue with the internet in general people are just way too interested in dropping their opinion or shooting some minor aspect of a statement down and never actually reading or engaging with the real topic at hand. Like the discussion here about whether Era is progressive or not. It's literally besides the point as stated in the OP.
There's plenty of threads where quick comments or whatever don't matter, but when it comes to topics dealing with real world issues there needs to be more strict policing of drive by posts and hot takes.
