- TheCowboy 11y agoDid you end up hating Delicious? Any thoughts on its current state?
- joshu 11y agoThe lack of conversation didn't allow it to become a community. I still miss it. I don't really use the current one, but have made a few attempts to reach out to the current owners to help out.
- gozo 11y agoI think "real" communities work, were people have common interests, self-organizations, transparency etc. A lot of communities don't work because there nothing at stake. I think you could randomly ban 25% of HN and it would, excluding any eventual outrage, be largely the same.
- joshu 11y agoI mean online communities?
- prawn 11y agoIn my experience (10+ years running a forum), it's more love-hate. There are the ridiculous trolls and idiots being a magnet for legal threats, but there are also those regulars who contribute sensibly and really care about their participation.
