Dear Yahoo, you took away the ability for commenters to weigh in on your stories, all in the name of a safer environment and because a lot of users are conservatives who disagree with your left leaning bias.
You, Kardashian every story or use Huffpost who start with a bias headline and then use biased twitter responses filled with obscenities that commenters were not allowed to use, and your readers let you hear about it.

You have done a grave and divisive thing. Your email users, should be a reminder to you of teh diversity you provide services to and encourage you to provide more balanced reporting.

'Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting.'

And then you allow a story about Jim Carrey spreading his hollywood psychotic hate about Melania Trump. What happened to Unity? What did Melania ever really do that was wrong? Insult the media with her coat? Have an accent? This media hate for Melania Trump, is a #metoo moment.

I have sent a request to my my congressmen and congresswomen, to pass legislation that puts the media and their families in the front lines if a civil war ever breaks out, since they are trying to perpetuate one, by sensationalizng stories.

How is that for unity?

The weather channel has better news than what you supply. Please look up 'jounalistic integrity' and provide fair and balanced reporting before you help start a civil war.

I'll let the people who were censored by their government, and overthrew that government, tell you how important freedom of the press/speech REALLY is.

“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”
George Washington

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Let us dare to read, think, speak and write.”
John Adams

“If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.”
Benjamin Franklin

So...censoring the publics right to their opinion is simply betraying the public.
So...open it up. Find your balls, if you have any. Jump in, the waters fine.
I originally liked your product, until you decided to throttle/choke/censor public opinion. Actually, the comments were more entertaining than the articles.
For the love of all that's holy, IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, while people are sitting around with their thumbs in their ***** and their minds in neutral, be the mold breaker. Invite lively discussion and differing opinions.

Free press. Free speech. Try it some time.

I'll be switching to a new source of years after over a decade reading it on yahoo. I have dealt with many format changes but this one is the worst of many bad ideas that have hindered the user experience over the years.

• No longer a way to see a list of top stories. Instead you get 4-5 stories under each category, forcing you to check each category individually rather than a ready list of top stories from each being presented.
• New design is not for readers. The new design is a picture book of huge pictures and (sometimes misleading) headlines. No story preview of the first paragraph to help assess what one wants to read. Though the large pictures make it obvious you no longer want to report print news. I am over the age of five. My news needs no picture, much less the picture being the only preview to the story received.
• The "More for you" section likely is the feed we were used to seeing but it's at the very bottom and with a redesign this extensive I don't trust it. For me? I don't log in to review my news so what is the "For Me" based on?

Terrible redesign over all. Switching to the very next source I can find that emulates the previous format.
