Contrary to certain self-victimizing sentiments, I think that the problem is that the platform is more and more overtaken by the topic of the election (and Israel in reference thereto) and it just results in interminable arguing in circles that accomplishes nothing but wasting time. Regardless of the outcome of the election, I think less-annoying activity will increase afterwards.
A lot of users on here have an unhealthy obsession with bringing up awful events everywhere all the time - donating and raising awareness is good but turning every topic around to be about specific conflicts and political happenstance in a forum already saturated with that content isn’t encouraging for other people to engage and probably isn’t conducive to mental wellness either
