(4,775 posts)I am there, as well as here. If you aren't there you should check it out.
I think the main issues are that board was setup specifically for Bernie supporters, but I'm hoping they will generalize that in the near future to be a progressive board, which it effectively is already. Also their software is not as good as DU's.
I don't think the software is the most important thing, and I think it will improve over time. DU didn't start out looking like it does now, so we should expect a gradual improvement over there (JPR) too. The main problem I had with their software was just reading threads and knowing which posts were responding to which. There's a thread viewing setting over there called "hybrid mode", once I changed to that, it was much easier to navigate.
I think there's room for many boards, and we can hang out where we want to, provided we abide by whatever rules a site imposes.
