/u/aureus; why pick him?

I don't always agree with him, but he puts an incredible amount of effort and energy into his posts and ideas, and his arguments are rock solid, always good about backing up claims with sources if people ask, just the first name that came to mind of a great user

Hey, thanks for mentioning me. I totally agree with your post btw. It's a shame it's not getting the appreciation it deserves.

I haven't been active on this site for some time for exactly the reasons you describe. The only advantage a site like this could have over others is quality discussion and content, but very few seem interested in posting that. The majority of content is recycled political news. The number of users interested in quality discussion is so small that it would almost be more efficient to make a private IRC channel or Element channel or something.

I'm not sure how to fix the issues you bring up. I totally agree with limiting link posts though. I'm open to discuss any of this if you're interested.
