The Irish version of Reddit. The website itself is awful. Dated, slow, has horrendous search functionality and poorly laid out. It was once a good source of useful information but it's hard to find anything and what's the point when LLMs find up to date stuff a lot faster?

In terms of the content? Well the overzealous moderation destroyed the humour, debate and crucially, the fun. It's now just a leftist echo chamber and the mods ensure it stays that way, so don't expect much "debate" if you visit. Not sure who's paying to prop up the corpse but evidently they have more money than sense.

Highly problematic site

Boards.ie has a very serious problem with antisemitism, racism, and bigotry. I cannot recommend it to anyone who values a safe or respectful online environment.I repeatedly encountered posters expressing overt antisemitism, racism and open support for terrorism. In the aftermath of the October 7th attacks, several users openly celebrated the violence, voiced support for terrorism and later engaged in denial or minimisation.Antisemitic rhetoric is an everyday feature of the site and accepted as normal, everyday discussion.Instead of enforcing community standards, moderators and administrators tolerate this material while simply banning users who attempt to call it out.The end result is an toxic environment where hateful content is normalised and accountability is essentially nonexistent.

Just an awful site

Just an awful site, clique driven. I have been permanently banned for the crime of trying to set up an account for an elderly parent, on the same phone I setup my own account. Pathetic moderators.

Moderation political bias

If you wish to discuss politics and are both conservative and humorous your life will be short lived on boards.ie before you are banned.

A sad decline.

A high threshold expected from those in the centre or on the left whilst the right are allowed to post demonstrable untruths. Used to be decent, now an Irish version of Twitter/X. A sad decline.

Boards.ie is an absolute cesspit of leftist bias, almost fascist in it's nature due to its censorship .It has 'moderators' who have very little clue about how to deal with people and use their limited intellect to shut down conversation that they do not agree with. If it's aligned with their thought process, you can say things that are blatantly untrue and you will be backed up if someone comes in and explain the truth, while they get the ban. If you disagree with the approved narrative you get a sanction can get banned from threads or even the site. I see now they are looking for people to subscribe so they can keep the site live. I would pay to have the site shut down to be honest, or buy it out and remove all censorship within the law that is. SHUT IT DOWN!!!

Used to be a great site

Used to be a great site, before it got over moderated to death. Special mention goes out to Beasty, it's not coincidental that his name repeatedly appears here, he singlehandedly has destroyed the place.
