I know this site is for free speech and all but please cut the antisemitism and conspiracy theory bs from the front page. It's not a good look and is going to drive people away from trying the site.

I disagree with you entirely and advocate the opposite approach. I for one am not here to "look good." It's ok if it "drives people away." If we take your approach to its logical conclusion what we have then is reddit all over again.

Don't read stuff you don't like. Skip past all "kikes" and shit like that. There's assholes around everywhere. But no, I think everyone is free to post any conspiracy theory here and any anti-semitism they want. At the same time I have the right to call out their bullshit as often as I like. And so should you.

Damn, that really is a relevant username.

I'll share a conspiracy theory of my pwn with you.

What if I told you, that the last refugee wave was large enough for some propoganda organizations to put this site on their radar?

What if I told you the concern trolls posting those threads/comments are the first wave of shills, whose goal is to slowly corrupt this site the same way most platforms (like many subreddits, in their time) get corrupted?
Notice how most of those concern trolls highlight problems that could actually be solved by their own participation - but, that would actually help the site, while their goal is clearly to (slowly) undermine it.

They will also cite the new influx of users as a good thing, and threaten it ends if $demandList isn't met, while in reality much of this activity is artifically created by those shills (not most votes, just the early spike that makes it visible enough for other people to upvote it for the sake of discussion).

This isn't going to stop, by the way - this is only going to get worse the more popular this site gets.

Sorry, I'm not a shill
