Also strict rules/culture and paid fulltime moderators/curators.
- junon 3y agoThis. Dang (Daniel) is a cyborg, meant in the best possible way. He moderates this place better than anywhere else on the internet that I know of.
- yooSee 3y agoThat’s a low bar though. I have scraped the comments here at random. There’s plenty of “violations” that are missed. This comment feels like confirmation bias relative to my measure. That people believe it’s a certain type of forum likely plays as much or more of a role than moderation. It intentionally does not function like Reddit or Twitter and that makes obvious what content is favored.
- hyperhopper 3y agoThe two together are key. There are many subreddits which had a great culture but mods went underwater when the sub hit ~100k, the point where every sub becomes closer to the norm. And obviously you can't just pay a mod to create something special, it takes two.
