Gosh this is hard to process. I’d love to partake in the popcorn here but it’s been seasoned with an obscure kind of seed oil.
Either way, thanks for the ‘tent.
the post, but especially the comments, are the slam-dunk unimpeachable killer argument for vibes-based moderation, under which Duncan, Said and Zack would all have long ago been escorted to the egress.
if your moderation rules don't include "we may ban you if we feel it's appropriate, and do please keep in mind that none of us were born yesterday" then they are an incomplete system.
(awful's mod policy is approximately "come on now", which doesn't scale big but has worked so far)
I’m loving how well vibes-based moderation is working without a mountain of dependencies or heavy coordination. hopefully we’re able to find a way to keep it effective as the communities on here scale up
also, I’m glad I’m not the only one whose inner monologue reading that thread was “all of these folks should catch a ban”
Oh hey, it's the contrapositive of the parable of the punk bar kicking out the "nice" nazi.
I strongly predict that a decent chunk of the high-contributing users who LW has already lost would've been less likely to leave and would be more likely to return with marginal movement in that direction [deciding to do exactly what I wanted].
"I have to stress that the people who are not here to speak for themselves (top people, mind you) are right here with me. They're just out of frame, agreeing with me."
"The lurkers support me in email."
So many words, so little achieved
So very many words.
BRAIN. HURT.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
