hey I am a genious I will simply make a social space (or social media website) without any rules. So everybody can do whatever they want.
Someone spamming horse porn everywhere
okay maybe let’s have some rules, like no spamming or illegal stuff.
People keep posting my little pony content or gore to unrelated sub forums
Hmm let’s just make a full CoC that basically only permits the kind of right-wing thought that we like.
End result is a shithole that nobody likes using, since right-wingers don’t even like their own people.
genius
I think your framing is a bit derogatory. I think it’s better to take the situation as it is now and work with it. Different people have different expectations towards different media. Some people can’t accept NSFW content on social media, some want to have very emotional and hard-handed discussions. I think both is fine.
It would be fine if that is what people actually wanted. But my impression is that most actually want a clean house or at least one they can still use at a reasonable state, but never so far realized that it takes effort and rules to have that and thus ignorantly say they don’t want that if it inconveniences them. If they really wanted to have almost no rules, why aren’t they on 4chan already (the equivalent of a monkey cage that gets flushed out with a water hose from time to time)?
Oh I see, I agree.
