> …some arbitrary authority deciding… something tells me the team here is anything but arbitrary. i can assure you, keeping a community this healthy at this scale is pretty incredible. what you’re suggesting is to raise the noise and for the users to wade through noise hunting for signal. what rises to the top here is so much better than any of the noisy sites. on those sites, by the time you find a signal, the information is usually amateur-hour tier. to use an idiom i heard yesterday, sites with little moderation are like searching for a hymen in a whorehouse.
