I’m actually trying to address this problem by creating a place for “kind, clear and constructive” discussion online, which uses anonymous identities, so that all users can express themselves in safety. Of course, the hard thing is to have both high quality discussion and anonymity, take a look at conferacity.com if that sounds interesting.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoDoesn't moderation solve the quality problem? Content is only low quality when the admins intentionally don't moderate.
- ghufran_syed 6y agoYes, but what we’re really trying to see is what happens if essentially everyone is a moderator? Or more specifically, what if the only people who can take part in the discussion are those who can care enough about high quality discussion to ensure that they and others adhere to some set of principles that encourage that kind of discussion. Those are obviously the kind of people who should be moderators, but if the whole community of contributors is that kind of person, maybe you could maintain the quality of the discussion as you scale? Of course, you’d grow much slower, and maybe it’s impossible to get that kind of site to a critical mass of contributors. But it seems worth trying :)
