Meta: I want to single out /u/carn0ld03 for doing the things some of us can't or won't do. Namely: they're posting top-level comments in the sub instead of just link-dumping in the main thread. I've talked about this tendency to stick to the OT/LEs as a sort of Stockholm Syndrome before, and I am grateful that this sub looks a little more like I envisioned than the one on !saidit does.

That said, I'm kind of ambivalent about links to podcasts or videos - it's not that I don't think they belong, but that they're harder for people to quote and excerpt than pure text is. I'd almost suggest that those are fodder for the OT/LEs, except the front page looks so nice with all that extra content there. So I'm not going to make a hard and fast rule here - the posts follow the existing rules and contain external links + context, which I am convinced is the secret sauce for creating more balanced discussions without as much outgroup-bashing. NB: Not no outgroup-bashing, but a reduced amount than is seen in the "showerthoughts on how outgroup bad" format some other discussion forums have adapted.

So thank you /u/carn0ld03 for taking us at our word. A front page that's not just a list of OT/LEs is indeed far more attractive than one that is.
