The tweet was meant to call out the book burnings in Berlin, but instead, give a clear explanation of why they happened.

I've noticed that as well. I do miss the voaties from when the original shut down. Some of those would write paragraphs on how you weren't criticizing the ____________ in the manner they proscribed.

I miss such "long-winded" responses as well. Even if they were in regards to something of minor consequence in the larger scheme, they at least showed engagement and passion, as well as dedication to a cause.

I regularly see comments containing information that is actually meaningful and which took some time and effort to compose which get maybe one or two upvotes and no responses on them. Meanwhile, on the same posts I regularly see short, reddit-tier, "tryhard" attempts at being witty or funny by someone that didn't even watch or read what was posted, or simply making statements of the obvious and the comments get a lot of upvotes and replies.

Redditization of poal and the sense of many withdrawing into a 'bystander' stance to all that is going on has been getting worse and I do not like it.

While I cannot dismiss my observation that I outlined briefly, I just watched this again and it has helped a little bit with righting my state of mind that came as a result of that observation beginning to affect me negatively:

Thank you for letting me vent just a little bit. I had a death today and I believe it is merely the first of quite a few that I am to experience before summer's end. I think I've righted myself at least well enough for today and I'll keep working at it.

no problem. Sometime you just have to say it and get it out of the way.

Nice, what a moron. I had one write me a novel about how he went through 11 pages of my comments and didn't see anything critical of jews.

I'd write him a 5 word reply and get back paragraphs accusing me of pretty much everything. Vanished when newvoat opened, of course.
