ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

idk man people tolerated posting side-by-side with nazis for like a decade so

yeah, and people are seriously- without a hint of irony or shame- stating that they're migrating to /twitter/? yeah way to show that you care about the values of the people running your Social Media Experience lmao

Reddit sucks because there’s no way to preserve important megaposts instead of putting a link in the sidebar where nobody looks, and instead of making it better, you get subreddits just remake popular threads each month and the historic ones just get lost to the aether, and the same posts and questions get asked over and over each month. it’s very much focused around “the now” which makes absolutely no sense for a community like SA

edit: this is fine for pyf or image threads but does not work for actual conversations

Reddit is not great but this is one complaint I am always surprised to see from posters in a tech forum like yospos. It's just a tree.

e: consequentially you can collapse derails about tipping or whatever.

a tree is good for finding information. it is not good for having a conversation

reddit is also from the top down sympathetic to nazis

i can't think of many other mostly-self-moderating groups quite like this, but the absentee owner relinquishing control to someone else is probably the best solution for keeping this the community that it is. hopefully pressure from other mods and/or the legal system works (lol)

yeah it is absolutely not a replacement for a forum. it’s spit and baling wire to hold the community together while the main hub is at risk

they've actually gotten pretty good at proactively banning nazis lately and it's enough that nazis are creating their own discord-likes, like Gab made one for example :shrug:

i mean there's def still nazis but they actually give a gently caress if you report them now

i maintain that the only truly unique thing with preserving is that it is a paid forum with strict moderation that got off the ground at all. anything free-for-all, or even partially free-to-post will go to poo poo.

i only learned just now that there is a bot for making discords require an sa account, and that is already closer. but the entire point would be to make it possible to put your :10bux: somewhere less abusive and have moderation work on the {forum,discord, newsgroup,...} based off of that. at that point i don't particularly care if i post on a default-config phpbb.

haha wow i just noticed joining the yospos discord i had to respond to that goon bot with "praise lowtax" the first time i used it. i wonder if they've changed it...
