I’d love to see a content platform where you can only get downvoted if your content contains logical fallacies, or if your tone is hostile or disrespectful. Basically combining the civility of HN, the breadth of content of Medium, and the crowdsourced moderation and badges/point system/gamification of Stack Overflow. Something like the following:
-You can post any content you want.
-It must be civil in tone.
-Other users can tag your logical fallacies.
-If their tags are accurate, your article is downvoted.
-Downvotes only happen if your article contains logical fallacies or violate the civil discussion standards. You can’t downvote someone without tagging a logical fallacy.
-You explicitly cannot downvote or tag someone’s content simply because you disagree with it. You can try of course, but if your tags are found to be consistently inaccurate, you get shadow-banned or something.
- minikites 6y agoSo on your platform it would be fine to advocate for a whites-only ethnostate as long as you're polite about it?
- anm89 6y agoI love how things like this are thrown out as if the shear terror of being accused of having proximity to someone with problematic opinions is supposed to make everyone recant immediately and beg for forgiveness. So you breath air? Even though Hitler breathed air as he was murdering millions? And you're seriously willing to defend that? Monster. Yes. As a jew with immediate family who died in the holocaust, I'm willing to defend free speech, even the free speech of ethno nationalists or whatever other boogeyman you wanna throw out
- toomanyrichies 6y agoAdmittedly, one of the platform's weaknesses is that its membership should include a sufficient number of people who are capable of debunking blatant ethnocentrism.
- minikites 6y agoThat's what I was getting at, manners and logical fallacies are surface-level problems, to have a successful community you need to actually engage with and (more importantly) moderate the content of people's posts, not just the tone.
