I honestly really prefer an abrasive community. I think one thing we lost with the adoption of CoCs was the ability of the community to naturally filter out low-quality or abusive (do my homework or project for me) participants, and encourage dedication by requiring new users to earn actual real respect before being given it. It felt rewarding and… real to me to participate in these sorts of spaces, and is one of the reasons I used to love online communities. CoC communities have always felt like tofu in comparison, but tbh I think my life improved by not spending so much time on the computer anyways.

- droopyEyelids 3y agoIm not sure I buy the benefits of your scenario. Abrasive behavior has side effects, so it excludes both good contributors and abusives like your definition. The alternative is more or less silent treatment, abusives dont get engagement with their “contribution” because no one has time to waste on it. This also discourages them, and it doesnt scare off helpful but emotionally sensitive contributors. This isnt to say you dont prefer the abrasive community! I just doubt the efficacy of that approach to getting shit done.
