Popular Post MoseySusan Posted January 2, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 2, 2020 Read this description in the NYT this morning. “Find a well-moderated corner of the internet. “The internet still abounds in lovely, wholesome niches — ...where strangers come together to help one another out of real problems in life. What distinguishes the productive online communities from the disturbing ones? Often it’s something simple: content moderation. The best places online are bounded by clear, well-enforced community guidelines for participation. Twitter and Facebook are toxic because there are few rules and few penalties for flouting them. A Reddit community like r/relationships, meanwhile, is a haven of incredible, empathetic discussion because its hosts spend a lot of effort policing the discussion toward productive dialogue.” This excerpt follows encouragement to resist sharing viral material and quote tweeting as a way of ”preventing dystopia.” 2 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted January 2, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2020 This is going to hurt @Square Wheels's feelings. This whole time he thought he was the center of the internet and not just a corner. I'm pretty sure we were listed as one of the Internet backbones on one of Donk's maps. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
