Half the comments you cite are more about moderation tools than about users. As for the rest (specifically, the second one), I don't think that any reasonable person would confuse /r/CoonTown with /r/AskHistorians.
- KVFinn 11y agoI cited only one comment, specifically this part: >A lot of our flaired users on AskHistorians are professionals in their fields, and at times it is pretty hard to keep convincing them to stay on a website like this.
- 78666cdc 11y agoI meant "half of the statements", not "half of the comments". That was very obvious from what I said, so I suspect that you are being intellectually dishonest. Regardless, to stay on topic, out of "a lot" of people, then "at times" some will want to leave. Expecting a 100% retention rate all the time is unrealistic. Maybe a few of them saw comments about atheism in /r/atheism, a very major subreddit, and weren't comfortable posting in a place that isn't a "safe space" for Christians? Maybe, maybe not - who knows? But if you want to define what's "safe" to allow in open discussion, then you're pointing your community towards the metaphorical grave. Whether there's a possibility of afterlife for a doomed community is an open question.
