Doesn't that reinforce extremes and encourage enclaves: which is why Reddit end up closing whole communities (the good and bad in those communities). You're just putting off moderation of extreme content that doesn't confirm to a community consensus at all by hiding it in a corner and letting it grow without control.
- jimnotgym 6y agoAre the readers of 'Nature' or 'The Economist' extreme? Quality curation and editorial control are possible at those levels. I can write a letter, or indeed an article or paper for either, but it only gets accepted if it is good enough.
- searchableguy 6y ago> Doesn't that reinforce extremes and encourage enclaves: which is why Reddit end up closing whole communities (the good and bad in those communities). Nope. It works well on discord. I can think of few reasons why: 1. The reliance on advertising model pushes them to retain users on their platform for longer and increase engagement in unnatural ways. You can see with how they push you to use the app or throw big subs everywhere. 2. The front-page has limited slots and there is no way to divide the community into smaller parts in itself. On discord, you can do this with channels and roles. 3. There is no voting system and realtime communication is more human like. You can get feedback naturally which you won't on reddit.
