A clickbait story if ever one existed.

My conclusion: that’s just silly.

The Daily has changed their Comments format over the last year. It has been split into two collections of reader comments. Sometimes neighter format will pick up a new remark. Other times, you have to devise roundabout methods to view your posting and any reactions to it.

The newer collection of comments will often try to censor what you post. The system will ask you: “Are you sure you want to post this as written? Some members of the community may find it disturbing.” I can usually change one word or fiddle with spacing to make my remark more “acceptable’ to their new software. Sometimes, I refuse to change anything, and will ignore their Karen type warnings.

Mostly, they can’t write.

They can’t now and never actually could, compose a complete sentence

Because it’s important to demonstrate intelligence and belonging when you’re committed to commenting on Tiktock, fakebook, bigolive, etc.

where would we be if even Freepers couldn’t vent, rant, comment? My day would not start without some connection to intelligent life out there.

Easy to say when you’re a leftist who won’t get canceled for your likes and comments.

Serious risk of wasting time is a greater concern. I don’t have accounts in FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Tiktok...you name it, I don’t go there.
FR is as social as I get online and I don’t post much here. Life is short and no one knows quite how short.
So if a site saves you time, have at it. Otherwise, avoid.

"Not enough people commenting on Daily Mail articles?"

I'd still be commenting there if they hadn't banned me for life, simply for offering historical facts. I'm 76 now. Was probably around 70-71 at the time when they banned me. I've been here 26 years, and have never been banned or suspended. But the Daily Mail found a 70 year old woman such a threat, that they had to ban her. I wear it as a badge of honor.

"I don’t see any of us having that problem."

I don't have any social media accounts. Never tried any of original sites. When Trump got tossed off Twitter, I joined Parler thinking he'd end up there. He didn't, and then Parler was bounced off the internet. Tried Gab and Gettr, then Truth Social. Got rid of them all, because I found them a waste of time. There's more here on FR, than any of those other sites. That's why I've stuck around for 26 years.

Not living where FR originates, I guess I’ll be hiding behind a keyboard. However, I would express the same opinions even if I were’t.

“Central China Normal”

That sounds oxymoronic.

We sure don't. I can't seem to keep my mouth shut online.
