The problem is that informal policies can be bastardized by individual managers. Relying on rapport and good will doesn't work with narcissists (an extreme case) or people with different values (more mundane), for instance. And differe

I can only speak to my own experience here, but I use Discord because: - It's easy to onboard non-technical users. - It has a huge existing user-base. - It's feature-rich but with good UX so it doesn't feel overwhelming. - Vo

What do you mean by "tiny realm vibe"? Are you on mostly smaller servers, or is it unrelated to server size? You can definitely port the crushing silence/violent turmoil dichotomy of a large freenode room to Discord with eno

You could just as well be describing a bulletin board in a physical space, like a community center. Or even an SMS/WhatsApp group. The problems you're describing are endemic to social spaces and won't be resolved by removing

Postal inspectors can hand off to other teams for investigation of affairs that might affect more than the post system-- hence this memo. If postal workers are at risk then it's within their purview (as it has been for over 200 years)

Discord nailed reliability, quality, and usability. Its tech is still not worth $10B, though, even if the tech needs to be as good as it is to keep attracting users. Tangential: I really do fear for them if they get acquired, though. Their

One of the really great parts of Notion is that you can view your data in multiple ways (table, schedule, timeline view, etc.); does Obsidian have this functionality now? I haven't checked. I'd love to use Obsidian to store notes,

On Reddit it depends on how the karma was obtained. Example questions: - Did they gain all their karma in one post, or was it gradual? Gradual karma is better because it implies that they're probably not a troll. - Did their karma come

Breaking things in this context would put peoples' lives at risk. There are already millions of newly unemployed citizens in the US. If the system is strained too far those who are already at risk could lose access to shelter, food, an

It's a bit more nuanced than that. While we probably should improve/expand asylum infrastructure, and similar programs, we can't just open the borders. We have a lot of social programs that are already strained (mostly by leg

IIRC these nets don't actually build a knowledge base (though I may be wrong, it's been a while). They're still functioning in lossy continuous space. This is probably fine with a low number of symbols and relations, but once
