Sure feels like it. I've seen countless low effort propaganda posts from Throwaway and their complaints anytime critical thought enters the discussion.
This community doesn't appear abandoned, it just isn't a locked down echo chamber like r/conservative on reddit, the place where users are banned, posts are locked to specific users, and topics which go against the narrative are taboo. That's straight up unhealthy, unproductive, and dangerous. We can do better here.
Full disclosure: I am not a conservative myself but I appreciate an open community which doesn't shut out discussion.
Its actually fascinating to watch and nominally participate in as someone with far different political sensibilities
Edit: i never would have nor would I have ever been comfortable engaging on r/Conservative
Edit: I don't mind small c/ Conservatives (you guys) nearly as much, its the hard R/ ones that I would never dare approach.
