Why the gatekeeping? What’s the point?
- DyslexicAtheist 6y ago> What’s the point? to keep the noise ratio at a bearable level? I'm not against gatekeeping but the way it is done needs to be transparent and those at the gate must have the right experience/background otherwise it's just grandstanding by mods and high-karma accounts that have no qualification other than having been there first (and perhaps louder than others).
- wtf_is_up 6y agoWhat's wrong with gatekeeping?
- SiempreViernes 6y agoThat it severely limits new influences, because gatekeeping is usually taken to mean contend moderation on "we only accept more of what's already inside" style principles.
- arkadiytehgraet 6y agoSo what's wrong with that?
- wccrawford 6y agoThere are a lot of people these days that believe everyone should be included in every group, unless it's their own special group which is a special exception to that rule.
