The chat is still there in the corner of this post, with people typing nasty shit into it. Well have fun delving into programmatic censorship I guess. Or just take it out. If you take the former path and post about trying to fix it here then I'm sure you'll get a lot more free testing of your attempts to enforce civility through regex or whatever. Enjoy learning about the Scunthorpe problem.

Neuralink will hopefully filter that out client side /s If your audience is more than a handful of people, what's the purpose of chat?

  To get the handful of people to collaborate and hopefully bring their friends. It's currently at 160 and climbing, no longer a handful, so it seems to be working.

    What I mean is that I get the purpose of chat when the target audience is a small group of people that might have a reason to talk to each other.

    The counter seems broken. It jumps from 100 to 250 then back down to 120. It did that a few times while I was reading.

Looking at the last few minutes of messages, I get the feeling that all it takes is a handful of motivated (i.e. jobless) malicious individuals to make an entire community or a corner of the Internet look like it has devolved into barbarism.

  By my recollection the devolution started around 30 years ago.

      That's not suspicious, that's the load-bearing smoking gun.

  Isn't that always how corruption/devolution has worked? Why not use the same tools we always had: accountability via transparency and then if needed shaming. Don't want strangers to abuse your resources and community and hide being anonymous to avoid accountability? Adjust/tune that aspect of your community - why can't you be creative and try to solve the problem with ideas like how tribes and organisms deal with this in person. maybe we can evolve chat interfaces for this obvious low-cost-noise age. Increase the cost somehow, not saying I know how, but it is definitely possible to filter out noise by being creative. edit: stay tuned and I'll probably figure out some solutions.

When I checked it out, the chat was a cesspool of racism, zionism, and horny dudes. Occasionally cool fish emojis.

  Right now there’s some minor probing, trying to get the site to print variables. There’s racism against Blacks. There’s antisemitism. There are a few people actually trying to say hi to one another. Then there’s a bot that replies to absolutely everyone and invites them to their gay male Chaturbate channel.

    Looked like people were trying to command inject the bot. Seemed to work a bit too
