Okay, I'm 95% certain this question has not been asked on this platform before. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I'm having a moment over here.

So remember the good old days of GAG, when everyone loved this platform and the moderators and admins were all "for the people"? Well, I don't. But I keep hearing about them. GAG's glory days. When the content was good, when trollers were rare, and when people actually put time into thinking of, writing, and responding to quality questions and MyTakes.

Many moderators still try, but they can't do everything. Especially when GAG's guidelines have gone to the dogs.

So what's my question?

If someone started a new platform which was like GAG but better, would you join it even if not many people were using it yet? Would you join the exodus to that said platform? Help it become something great?

What would you add to the list of guidelines/ideas the platform is built on?

Here are some things I would add to it:
1. Personalized feed/content.
2. Posts can only be featured for a certain amount of time.
3. In the "discover" page where you have something like Instagram stories, have an "anonymous" story that shows all the new anonymous questions by those you follow.
4. Moderators review all anonymous questions and remove them if there's no reason for them to be anonymous (I. E. when it's a question like "Do you like Trump or Harris").
5. Before making changes the admin holds a poll and only makes the change if over 50% of voters support the change.
6. A category for suggesting changes to the platform. Minimum of one user-created change per quarter if that change is supported by 50% or more of users.
7. Instead of removing borderline "adult content" that shows a little bit of someone's butt, have a page that can only be viewed by logged-in users who are adults AND who choose to opt in.

Louisiana became the first state that can order child rapists to have their testicles removed if the victim is under the age of 13.

The law, which went into effect on Aug 1, only applies if the offender is older than 17 years old.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I believe in eye for eye, tooth for tooth. But what happens if it's a false accusations? They would have just mutilated a guy for life for something he didn't do.

On Friday, speaking at Turning Point Action Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach, Trump begged the audience to “vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what: it’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine…. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”

The comment drew a lot of attention, and on Monday, Fox personality Laura Ingraham gave him a chance to walk it back. Instead, he said: “I said, vote for me, you’re not going to have to do it ever again. It’s true.” “Don’t worry about the future. You have to vote on November 5. After that, you don’t have to worry about voting anymore. I don’t care, because we’re going to fix it. The country will be fixed and we won’t even need your vote anymore, because frankly we will have such love, if you don’t want to vote anymore, that’s OK.”

The idea that democracy must be overturned in order to enable a small group of leaders to restore virtue to a nation is at the center of the “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy” championed by Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán. Orbán’s imposition of an authoritarian Christian nationalism on a former democracy, in turn, has inspired the far-right figures that are currently in charge of the Republican Party. As Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts put it: “Modern Hungary is not just a model for conservative statecraft but the model.”

The New Republic published the foreword Vance wrote for Kevin Roberts’s forthcoming book. Vance makes it clear he sees Kevin Roberts and himself as working together to create “a fundamentally Christian view of culture and economics.”

Vance is backed by Silicon Valley libertarian Peter Thiel, who put more than $10 million behind Vance’s election to the Senate. In 2009, Thiel wrote “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."
