    I’d like to try to curtail the personal attacks and bickering with some good rules and guidelines, but I’m not sure it will go anywhere.

    Old reddit like <2014 use to be a reasonable place where people all along the political spectrum could discuss policy. That’s really no longer an option because most communities/moderators just don’t want to deal with that, unfortunately that only makes the problem worse…
