Show HN: Hystoria – a Reddit-like site where all posts must be 5+ years old

#42A post from 2015 about how the Earth is flat is just as disingenuous as a post from 2020 about how the Earth is flat. I'm not sure how this is supposed to lead to automatically thoughtful discourse.
Here's the secret, thoughtful discourse is hard work and will never be "automatic" :)

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've deployed a number of web services and I have to say...Lemmy was incredibly streamlined and easy to deploy. Deployment is entirely automated with docker and an ansible script, and updating requires just 1 command. Really looking forward to them completing the ActivityPub integration.
Does lemmy still do the thing where they censor certain words and don't include a way to configure the censorship to try and discourage certain groups from using it?
Looks like it:

That's the most offensive Regex I've ever seen.

#44Ok it's actually back up now. I ran into a rate limit, and then another rate limit, and then another...but things should be good now. Sorry.

#45this could just be a subreddit, no?
Given the quality of mods on reddit, I reckon it's better this way :)
Why would the mods on reddit be any different that the moderators on hystoria? The owner of the sub gets to pick the moderators, so moksha256 would get to pick moderators on either platform.
Maybe you mean reddit admins, who are employed by reddit to oversea the site? What issue would they be causing?

#46Oh man I love this. I have long had a sort of back-shelf idea to create a "Month Old News" site where you can read headlines from a month ago with more context and thoughtful analysis.

#47I wish I could see - I love this idea. Although sometimes I look at newspapers from a long time ago to see what was being talked about. A lot of times it's the little things that are the most interesting. Those things that we thought were huge but ended up being flops or "I wonder what happened to those guys..." I think sometimes seeing how much of a kerfuffle we made out of past current events can help you realize t…
Sorry, it's back up now. I ran into multiple rate limits, some of which were hard to determine/uncover/configure.

#48I created Hystoria as an experiment to see if blocking out current events can lead to more thoughtful discourse. --- Hystoria is a simple, reddit-like site (built with a simplified version of Lemmy [0]) where only items older than 5 years can be posted. I've been obsessed with media dynamics for years now, always wondering what variables can be adjusted within the current environment to result in better media product…
I love the concept, but I don't know if 5 years is even enough time for people to have gotten over current events. If you made it 20+ years, I suspect that would work better. In any case, good luck, and I hope I'm wrong. :-)
I think having it at a filter would be nice. Maybe 5, 10, 20 years.

#49A very interesting idea.
I had my own idea:
xornews - news about politics that are only in one camp, or the other, but never in both. For example liberal/conservative. That's the main split in my country.
But I realized it can't work without a bunch of moderators fascinated by political science.

I would seriously question why you would want to attract anybody that used any of the regex statements words, but is as easy as changing it in the code.
