For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

Did they? What happened? I didn't hear about this. politics@LW was so bizarre and useless that I gave up on it a while back.

I feel like Jordan could be pressured into doing things the way someone was pressuring him to do them, and so they tried to pressure him, while FS would argue for what he thought was right, and so they tried to get rid of him completely. And I think on both counts they've been succeeding pretty well.

It's been a while, but the troll in question was spamming Jordan's avatar image all over the place with a lot of unflattering (and false) accusations (I'll just leave it at that).
