What if the extreme views may be correct? And I don't mean that in a trolling way, I mean that sincerely and literally.

Well, if it turns out that "genocide is actually good" is correct we're all doomed. Less flippantly, we may not have any special access to moral rightness; in fact if there's one important conclusion of 20th century moral philosophy it's that there's no exogenous moral truth to be found; but we definitely do know a number of things are wrong and lead to moral disaster on a colossal scale. This is why you have to ban…

> This is why you have to ban racial supremacists.

The problem is, there is far from an accepted common definition (by design, I'd argue) for "racial supremacists".

> It's happening all over again with the Rohingya.

Is this related to online forums somehow or just a reference to consequences?

>Do you think it's possible that some people mistake matters of opinion (or personal preference) for matters of fact? Do you think it's possible for two people two hold differing opinions on a specific subject, with neither of them being wrong? This is uncanny -- it's like I'm listening to myself speak. I'd be interested in talking to you privately if you're interested. Shoot me a message at the address in my profile…

Sent, hopefully I interpreted your email address correctly.

Not received ;).

Apologies for my cryptic code (is that statement redundant?)

> The site's still very minimal at this point (imagine a slightly-more-functional HN with separate "groups" for different subjects),

Maybe then you'd be interested in this project I'm doing:

https://www.talkyard.io

It has features from Reddit, & Reddit like sub communities, groups & permissions, ... + Slack like chat, StackOverflow Q&A. There are improvements over HN: https://www.talkyard.io/-32/how-hacker-news-can-be-improved-.... — I'm wondering if it is further ahead than what Tilde is currently, and maybe can time be saved if using it? Then you & I could add features to Talkyard that Tilde needs ... (open source)

... Or maybe, since you've been coding for half a year? you've come a long way already ... and it's too late to consider using something else?
