Yes it's a dictatorship, not necessarily transparent. That's how it was when the site was at its peak.
I decided that comment jail is going away. Uncivil will soon send comments to moderation, which is not publicly viewable.

Does Patrick.net still advocate for Free Speech?
What about @Patrick himself? Have your personal views on Free Speech changed over the past few months?

Patrick may i have back muh uncivil button, please
Anyone have experience automating the spin up of a server at digital ocean and installation of nginx, node, mysql, and postfix?
I don't care about modern, just easy and reliable.
I'll try doing it all with scp and ssh. At least I know that stuff so there's no learning curve.
Where did the categories go, I don't see them currently.
mell saysWhere did the categories go, I don't see them currently.
Moving away from categories.
Instead, will soon have separate sites dedicated to specific topics, like investing.
Patrick saysNo, there are still other moderators.
That is too bad.
I have been disappointed in low quality conversations from ad hominem attacks to straw-man arguments.
I guess for some it's a way, maybe in a therapeutic way, to release their inner demons.
No dissing--just stating the facts.
I just marked several of Goran's comments directed at me as uncivil. Never used the uncivil button before (and never used the dislike button unit 2 days ago). Just stating the facts...
People have been using PatNet as a way to vent for years. This isn't anything new. But when Trump got elected, for some reason (you can guess why), it hit a new level of fervor. It's gotten toxic and I've seen reasonable posters from the past just completely lose their shit and get super toxic. Pretty sad.
The anti-Trump crowd denies that they already have most of the power, and no doubt also fears that they will soon be penalized in real life for saying that they think, even though everything is currently organized they way they want it and no other way is allowed consideration, even under Trump. And I'm sure they feel Trump is a real threat to the stability of the country
Damore as someone very much like me who is simply not allowed to speak objective facts.
Doesn't that prove the fact that liberalism is truly a mental disease.
This isn't #politics. Does Goran now have free reign over the whole site?
I think leftism, and far rightism are both toxic and harmful.
Agreed. It's obvious though that before the Trump presidency leftism had a much firmer grip on the nation than far-rightism, and it still has quite some pull. People often then counter with economic policies which are not a good example anymore since the modern, globalist left concentrates all its extremism on identity politics, while economically they appear more centrist since the people who pull the strings of identity politics benefit from globalism and divide and conquer. It's in fact a very toxic mix that the left has morphed into and people have started to wake up.
That's funny--I find Trump to be just the opposite. He seems much more divisive than any President in recent memory.
Oh I agree. Far rightism has declined so far that places like StormFront are having a hard time attracting members. They don't control the media, they don't control education, they don't control ... anything.
The far left however has the tacit cooperation of the "moderate left" in the media, education, and hollywood. That's why I believe leftism is the primary threat to the country at this time. That could change in the future but for now the left has all the power and influence, and Trump was a stab at that powerful entity. That's why the reaction to him was so vile and widespread throughout the left. Trump is the first guy to stand up their power structure and threaten it.
Funny thing is, and I didn't think this would happen, Trump is winning way more than he is losing. Guy might be a genius. :)

I don't care if the site dies, you may not talk about the other users.
