I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!

I know I'm probably way slow on finding out about this but try going back to the discussionist and see where you end up. A giant hat tip to the creators of DU who rectified what that place became. http://discussionist.com/

I promise you will smile and it's a safe site.

That place got taken over by trolls, cranks, and downright weirdos.

It's good to see that the new incarnation is doing some good.

I was on that place on the first day. It finally got to the point where if I posted Good Morning everybody, somebody would report it and a jury would hide it. I gave up on it a long time ago. I really think it was totally automated with no human moderation. An experiment that didn't work.

Too bad. For a short while it was pretty good.

Either right before or during the George Floyd protests.

Skinner quite simply gave up on the site as it had become a cesspool of racist right-wing crap, and then redirected the url to go to where it goes now.
