one of their rules prevents users from asking for sources, too
There’s no way to fairly define their “no sealioning” rule. Sealioning is when someone tries to shut down a debate by demanding sources… but like, that’s only a problem if someone makes an unsourced claim.
Which, like, ya know. This rule creates a situation where unsourced claims that benefit the echochamber of the mods will never be forced to provide any proof of their claims, while ones that don’t benefit the mods will be brigaded with claims of “fake news”. This rule will only protect their echochamber, not make their discussions more civil.
