User reviews

Please make the panel on the home page completely collapsable/hideable. I don't like having to scroll down it just bugs me and sometimes I just don't want to look at the tournesol panel/videos

Horrible. I suspect devs + userbase are leftists, because it started showing me statist propaganda right from the start. It even has a "diversity & inclusion" hardcoded category in account settings. Avoid.
