For everyone deleting their Facebook (and Twitter) accounts

Make sure you delete your DU account too. Because we're powered by funds that Discussionist brings in as well. And that place is full of some very terrible things too.

Is that of a house fly to an F16.

Although I dislike the whole concept of Discussionist, it's much easier to monitor a small message board than a monster like Facebook.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
