you need way too much familiarity with the rationalist subculture to appreciate this one fully, but my goodness this moderation notice (www.lesswrong.com)

2 min read on the streets, 560 comments (and counting!) in the sheets.

Gosh this is hard to process. I’d love to partake in the popcorn here but it’s been seasoned with an obscure kind of seed oil.

Either way, thanks for the ‘tent.

    the post, but especially the comments, are the slam-dunk unimpeachable killer argument for vibes-based moderation, under which Duncan, Said and Zack would all have long ago been escorted to the egress.

    if your moderation rules don't include "we may ban you if we feel it's appropriate, and do please keep in mind that none of us were born yesterday" then they are an incomplete system.

    (awful's mod policy is approximately "come on now", which doesn't scale big but has worked so far)

    I’m loving how well vibes-based moderation is working without a mountain of dependencies or heavy coordination. hopefully we’re able to find a way to keep it effective as the communities on here scale up

    also, I’m glad I’m not the only one whose inner monologue reading that thread was “all of these folks should catch a ban”
