I haven't seen this to be true at all, but this comment is also a good example of something that doesn't add anything to the conversation (and gets downvoted).
I have seen more downvoted content here lately, but it's largely due to it not being very good--one liners, throw-away stuff, etc. I'm glad that's getting shuffled off to the side.
As for any shift in politics, I haven't seen that, but I have noticed that unchecked assumptions about libertarian-leaning ideas no longer get a pass. Still, that doesn't mean the site's becoming a leftist "college identity politics" (I can't even respond to that) thing, just that people expect thoughtfulness.
