q - questions and complaints

Similar question. This is a cyberpunk themed board, therefore all posts in other categories are usually somewhat cyber related. We also have /r/ for misc. What exactly goes in cyber is beyond me b/c it seems like cyber would be for misc. As long as I've been here (about a year), cyb has been a containment board. Popular threads like "Is this cyb?" (If you aren't sure, do a search or read a book, don't ask), /pol/ and /leftypol/ garbage, and survivalism/conspiracy theory stuff ends up there. Technocracy/Crypto-anarchism or whatever flavor of politics you want to discuss almost always devolves into flaming. Politics, religion, and the like are hard enough to discuss civilly in real-life and the internet just exaggerates things even further. Transhumanism could easily fall under /r/ as well and you'd probably get more educated responses. I guess what I'm saying is cut your losses and try posting in /r/.

I think they should stay.

And this is coming from someone who is from /cyb/ but i never post in the political threads.

However, politics are cyb, no really they play a huge part into Cyberpunk.

I'd completely understand removing political related posts if they were coming up a lot in a place such as /tech/ because politics are rarely related to it. However i would object to removing political related posts from /drg/ for quite obvious reasons. Politics are very related to cyb too.

To fair to you, i haven't been in those threads, so my analysis is flawed to a point, but removing things such as that, imho is not the best idea. Just my 2 cents.

my 2 cents: politics are basically inescapable, if we removed blatant politics there'd still be discrete politics.

as a user, I'm going to be skimming these threads more often and reporting posts that violate the rules. I'm tired of the mindset that if something is political it gets a free pass on quality beccause of free speech or whatever

I'm also fuarrrking exhausted with this bystander mentality about reporting posts. I don't want to be the only person doing it, and I feel like as long as these complaints are real nobody is trying real hard to report shitposts in /cyb/ politics threads.

They are not, cyberpunk is a sub genre of sci-fi

In some cases they are, but flat out making a political thread is only making it worse, people brew soykaf and is only going to spread to the rest of lainchan. that being said i don't want full no political talk, but making generals only brews soykaf.
