> them doing this Wouldn't any community that wants to encourage good quality conversations immediately ban everyone posting stupid slashdot-esque jokes like this?

  You can't build a community if you ban everything except soulless corporate dronespeak. Nobody would ever be interested in joining it without getting paid for it. That's a business meeting, not a community.

    Banning slashdot-esque nonsense is not banning "everything except soulless corporate dronespeak"
    - bigfishrunning 7mo ago
      But if they want to get rid of "slashdot-esque nonsense", they should behave in a way that doesn't encourage it. The fact that the jokes are cringe and played-out is beside the point; this isn't going to change anyone's attitude.

    Yeah that's what LinkedIn in is for. If they just want people or bots to just fawn over everything they put out. I'm glad M$ is getting called out for the slip they put out.

      Do you think r/credibledefense/ is like LinkedIn? I think there's a big difference between having high standards and the slop that is LinkedIn.

  Given that nobody else banned it we can now blame Microsoft for taking down the only decent online community. Now we are stuck on hackernews and its ilk.
  - JasonADrury 7mo ago
    Decent communities that strive for a high standard of conversation like r/credibledefense/ will immediately ban you for posting such nonsense. Go look and tell me that's not one of the best curated communities on the internet, despite specifically covering incredibly controversial topics. HN is good but doesn't even come close.

      > r/credibledefense/ The rules they enforce on normal posts are so strict that they have to create daily "mega" threads with less stringend rules just to keep the sub on life support. A+ moderation, clearly a healthy and well managed community.
      - JasonADrury 7mo ago
        On life support with those "mega" threads getting 1000+ comments a day? The split works very well, the megathreads mostly stick to tracking rapidly developing situations in which separate threads would just be spammy and unnecessarily fragment the conversation
