Which means that other communities ran by other moderators can be created. (This breaks down probably if the moderator is like, an ISP, AWS, etc.)

- falandafa123 5y agoDo you think telling people in Communist China to "make your own government" if you don't agree with their censorship is a valid argument?
- dang 5y agoCould you please stop creating accounts to post flamewar comments to HN? That's not what this site is for. I suppose I should add: No, we don't care about your views on China. We're just trying to have an internet forum that doesn't burn itself to a screaming crisp, and also (if we're allowed a stretch target) that doesn't suck. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20scorched%20earth&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- falandafa123 5y agoWhat are you talking about? Flamewar? Other accounts? You sound like a conspiracy theorist my friend. That isn't me I'm making a rhetorical point... I don't know what you think that site you linked shows. I never once mentioned scorched earth... My views on China don't matter I suggest you reread the thread and really think about what my comment is actually saying here.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoAnother interesting way this breaks down in practice is when communities interact. You can observe this today on the Fediverse. A common pattern is a small group pressuring moderators of some community to ban select people, under threat of the whole community being banned by many other communities. They make good on this threat by playing all the other communities against each other, threatening each one with being banned, unless they ban the original target community.
