I think the matter is a fair bit more complex than this, but I’ll refrain from discussing explicitly partisan politics on this site, despite the relaxation of the old norms.
I would also prefer not to be partisan, but unfortunately, framing things as “neutral vs conservative” is a trick that one side has been using for a while, and I believe it is impossible to fix the problem without addressing this tactic explicitly.
Basically, we need to make sure that “non-partisan” does not mean “supporting (pre-Trump) status quo”.
Funnily enough, I was also thinking about that exact SSC post when I was writing my comment. I do think I have a different perspective on this matter from yours, however.
