It is absolutely necessary for people in a community to ostracize lovely people who don't belong there, if they don't want lovely people who don't belong there to co-opt their community.

so then it attracts people who enjoy ostracizing others? and then when you try and tone it down because it's getting too toxic they all make their own offsite forums and complain about how SA is a sjw hugbox now?

I'm a cat psychologist (seriously) and I've been tracking my cat's movements for about 4 months now. It started with just a signal on his collar and cameras in a few rooms, but I'm about to install a few more cameras, including one's in the bedroom/bathroom.

Would I be obligated to tell girls I bring him about them, if they are purposed for tracking my cat and nothing else?

I'm worried girls will think tracking my cat is weird, or that I'm lying and using the cameras for more malicious purposes.

she gave p much the same reason as pao,

quote:

"Blount said she left because she did not think she “could deliver on promises being made to the community.”

“I feel like there are going be some big bumps on the road ahead for Reddit,” Blount said. “Along the way, there are some very aggressive implied promises being made to the community — in comments to mods, quotes from board members and they’re going have some pretty big challenges in meeting those implied promises.”
sounds like there's some numbers that need to be met or else

thats not what he means dude and u know it. like what kind of person do u think SA would attract, if ur pretty much guaranteed to have people playing internet detective w/ u?

and then when its not like rape or w/e, and instead its some guys bad dexters lab fanfic? well at that point it becomes a bunch of seriously creepy nerds obsessing about one weird nerd. imho, i'd rather have the weirdo who makes weird things

to restate what all of the goony introspection of the last several posts has been trying to say: maintaining a community is hard work that is constantly evolving.

or then there's the reddit solution of saying gently caress it, I'm sure it will work itself out via free speech invisible hand waving.

Which is worse, chasing away a guy writing bad Dexter's Laboratory fanfic or harboring a guy like G.I. Joe Dirtbag who raped someone who gave him a place to live? I'll let you decide.

for every gi joe dirtbag helldump success story it was also used to run off a mess of people over gay posting vendettas no one today would give a gently caress about

but then again, Zeitgeist was only very reluctantly perma'd recently for CP possession so maybe things have gotten too lax

i guess it could just be the admins being annoyed and reluctant to give the sass guys another scalp but w/e
