Tildes – a non-profit community site

Re: Tildes – a non-profit community site
#72Top discussion currently is on Hitler. No thanks, I'll give it a miss.
Have you actually read it? Stories about killing Hitler and saving millions of lives are a staple of science fiction, and an interesting way to reason about time travel. I created that thread as a creative exercise for others to partake in good, light-hearted fun. Despite the subject, there were absolutely no cases of misbehavior. That's what you get when you're in a heavily moderated community that takes being nice…
Yes, I did. 'Light-hearted fun' perhaps but it strikes me as in very poor taste as someone whose parents lived through the 1940s. Okay, you went there - to its logical conclusion in which your time adventures messing around with the past inadvertently sees the Axis win the war and the 1000 year reign commences as forseen. And nobody wants that.
'a heavily moderated community that takes being nice to each other very seriously' would describe this forum, for the most part. Thus my reluctance to join another community comprised somewhat of HN invitees merely to discuss topics HN might find taboo such as time travelling assassination of historical figures.

I am truly sorry my thread offended you. I assure it was not my intention to provoke that reaction in anyone.

Exactly. Not as wide of a variety of ideas, opinions and world views as you make it out to be.
Or maybe it is wide, and your opinions are just really out there (or you really were in fact an asshole.). If everyone keeps calling you out, it's possible the problem isn't with everyone. I'm not saying that's always the case, I'm just pointing out the odds aren't in your favour.
Perhaps. But culling an invite-only community tends to result in an echo chamber.

I don't remember how many bans there have been on Tildes to date but it's either two or three, and they're always a big deal. So I don't know about your definition of "culling".

Culling means the removal of something with undesirable traits.
And when the mod locks an account without explanation, I'm sure that the community doesn't notice.

> Culling means the removal of something with undesirable traits.
You just defined "moderation". Just because you call it culling doesn't make it so. And your bad-faith approach in this thread makes me think if you were indeed banned from Tildes (which I'm starting to doubt), it was the right call.
Question yourself.
