/m/politics is basically unmoderated, and the trolls and other ne’er-do-wells are starting to find it. I’m not even particularly interested in following it, but that’s one topic that you don’t want to leave unmoderated. It’s a troll magnet for obvious reasons, and that starts to affect the rest of the instance (and the fediverse) if there isn’t anyone enforcing some sort of decorum.
@ernest I know you’re ridiculously busy right now, but could you find a moment to appoint someone to recruit a mod team for /m/politics? I’d be willing to do the recruiting if you don’t have any better candidates, but I wouldn’t want to remain on as a moderator after that’s done.
Alternatively does anyone here actively want the job?
The culture of a community matters, and well kept gardens die by pacifism.
Thank you for this comment, sincerely.
I think I just found a lot more to read. That was stunningly written
@cacheson Haha, quite courageous to link to Yudkowsky and LW without content warning and link here 😄
Is there some background that I should be aware of? I don’t follow the guy, I just think it’s a really solid essay
