It looks interesting. Your blog says it has "Limited tolerance, especially for assholes." I'd like to ask you a question that would help elucidate this ethos. Let's say a user makes a comment about how illegal immigrants should be deported, and another user calls the first racist in response. How would the site respond & why?
- Deimorz 8y agoIt's impossible to answer questions like that. Depending on a lot of factors, the response could be anything from "do absolutely nothing" to "ban both users". Community management and moderation aren't simple, black-and-white decisions. Anyone that claims they are has never been involved in doing it at a meaningful level.
- drankula3 8y agoThis is actually exactly the response I was hoping for. Any community that responds in a black-or-white manner on a cultural issue like this one would be completely incapable of supplanting a global site like Reddit.
- explainplease 8y agoWhat if there are no other factors? User A, new account, posts a single comment: "Illegal immigrants should be deported." User B, new account, posts a single comment in reply: "You're a racist." What does Tildes do? It's not impossible to answer that. And the answer will tell us a lot about what Tildes wants to be.
