I think it was more about low usage, and there being better options out there that did the same thing

They were good for a long time, but it kinda went to shit when sunarus stepped down. Still though, Rip

My point was you reading news articles won't change anything. So why read them?

Are you going to do anything but wallow in depression? Just doomscrolling all day?

There's been innocent people getting killed every day for the last ten thousand years. What would you scrolling through news stories on the Internet actually accomplish?

And do you really need a thousand clones of the same community?

Apparently it's not removed on my instance, but it is over there. How on Earth does that work?

Anything is hard right compared to tankies.

I should probably post the guy who told me to catch bullets whose comment still isn't removed.

Hilarious chaos has an actual replacement for /c/conservative

It's not just another clone of /politics/Trump watch /leopards eating faces/ etc

There's a lot less trolls for some reason too, which is nice.

As an aside, I remember a time when inflation was the big porn shocker tag. Now it's anthro/furry/femboy/sissy etc. Literally anything except a human woman. I don't know if it's just trends, but it feels almost like it's a conspiracy, but that's crazy, right?

The only real complaint I have is people not tagging their shit properly. I have all the requisite tags filtered, I shouldn't be seeing a surprise micropenis on a maid, but it's a regular occurrence because people are lazy these days. I remember when people would get into flamewars over tags. Tags are not just for searching, they're for filters too. How would you feel if someone failed to tag guro, as an extreme example? And it showed up in your porn? Ah well, the new generation sucks, as with all generations.

C'est la vie

Beyond what others said, back before prohibition, drinking had gotten out of control. There were a lot of severe drunks causing problems absolutely everywhere. Prohibition was somewhat popular when it began because drinking had become an actual problem.

A lot of laws were being passed before prohibition passed, and those are the same laws you see today.
