The ideal online community is self-moderating. That is, the community "gatekeeps" without giving unilateral powers to select members. 4Chan is a cesspool because the community doesn't truly self-moderate, which is in fact part of its ethos.

I don't think this is realistically possible, most online communities will, if allowed to 'self moderate', simply become abusive shitholes of some kind or another. 'relaxed moderation' always means 'more slurs and people being mean / harassing others' and never anything else.

Yep. Hell, we have seen this here in CSPAM many, many times. Some insane comment will go unreported, and then weeks/months later someone casually browsing for something else will be like "wait a minute, what the gently caress is this" and it'll become a huge shitshow, and the mods will come out and say "well, nobody reported it, so.."

The other thing is that the community's strong aversion to moderation will result in mods erring on the side of much lighter punishment, like with the guy who bragged about bricking a dog. It wasn't until the QCS thread weeks later that they got banned.

just so you know you got pretty much every single detail about this story wrong.

I assume the brick thing is STDH and probably just that person on psychotic break because it would have wound up in the news, people go to jail for years for that and my sleuthing shows no results that would match the timeframe.

She said that the dogs attacked her in her back yard. In much of the united states you're allowed to kill anything on your property, regardless of whether it's threatening you.

E: idk my daughter's grandparents live in a wild village and a big pack of aggressive wild dogs has taken up residence nearby, I'm scared to let her play outside alone because of them. Banning someone for killing a dog that was attacking them in their own yard seemed a bit harsh to me.

I guess it's possible to have self-moderating communities, obviously it is since people have experienced them. I haven't, but of course there'd be lots of different factors going into it. I don't think those communities are possible here and most of my online presence has always been here so I'm biased. in a place like cspam, for example, a thread which is allowed to have 'less' moderation inevitably is just used for all the negative behaviors that aren't allowed in other threads in the same forum, like using slurs, brigading, etc.

yea quite frankly the whole thing was a huge op and it worked. at worst it was stdh, but if you believed her story enough to ban her over it then there was never any good reason to disbelieve her version of events. i hate what happened with it and thought it was very unfair and was just mean people being mean because they like being mean.

i mean in your example a dude bricked a Chihuahua in San Francisco yeah that wouldn't go over well

I'm from a shithole state where killing humans on your property gets you a big pat on the back from the cops. I realize you're an immigrant living on the west coast but i promise you in many parts of the country this really would not be seen as a big deal. Property rights trump all.

how is someone supposed to post in the wake of something like that? people don't have traumatic experiences - which that, if it happened, certainly was one - and then just immediately process it and act correctly. the fact is, there was no reason to disbelieve her version of events. trying to police how someone reacts in the wake of a thing like that is awful, and permabanning them from one of the spaces that helped them through troubled times in their lives and was an important social space for them is unbelievably cruel in reality. nobody who went on the witch hunt cared about the dog, or any of that poo poo. it was just people who wanted to hurt someone else and thought they had an acceptable reason to do so, and spun and retold the story until it was shaped the way they wanted it to be, and the mods bought it. :shrug:

I guess that could be it. I’m routinely surprised by things like learning white dudes will get invited to join up with the local whites gang as they’re casually walking down the street by yourself in parts of the PNW. feel incredulous every day

the lesson here goes back to the same one that Rime has trouble learning, that being right doesn't matter as much as being in compliance with social norms, especially as the group size shrinks.

if everyone else is turning a blind eye towards someone snatching an extra cricket ration because their child is sick, you will not maintain your social in group status by tattling.

Sure, but also the same people who just tried to invade this thread and only wound up embarrassing themselves did the same thing to the Covid thread using that incident as an excuse and tried to extrapolate the lamest most baseless poo poo about masking and Covid preventive measures and posters' personal lives

Somebody does something stupid and it courts a bunch of wannabes trying to work out their pent up resentment on anyone who thinks differently from them (takes covid or climate change seriously)

Idk i don't remember it as bragging, more like "man a really hosed up thing happened to me today" which should be okay to post about imho. But i also don't really care if aggressive dogs that attack humans get killed so maybe I'm the weirdo.

there was this article on medium that was translated from Chinese showing how westerners think dogs are basically like themselves whereas it’s separate in China and more materialist somehow. can’t find it. had some diagrams and I posted it before, would appreciate finding it again.
