I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.
Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.
Everything I don't like should be bannable. Only me though. We wouldn't want that to get out of hand.
People gotta remember that the ASSC folks have a limited number of levers they can pull in terms of rule enforcement that pretty much boil down to "can post y/n". Be careful what you demand in terms of rules unless you're really into everyone saying "unalive" and "yahtzee" when trying to talk about the world as it exists like on tiktok.
I hate hate hate that kind of stuff and the algorithms that fuel that paranoia. I want to be able to post like nobody's watching. I think this place could use some algorithms, maybe, to help people find interesting conversations, but I really hope they don't need to use them for moderation.
every now and then i get the rare treat of being completely oblivious to whatever the day's bullshit is, and i have learned to appreciate those days like fine wines
Gimme just one more system of opt-in user-submitted post classification bro. I think we could solve the issue of users not getting along sometimes with one more system of opt-in user-submitted post classification
Just block things! Block people! Silence posts! People act like oh blocking people is rude but demanding the mods add more and more rules with the implicit or explicit threat of bans attached is just fine!
I made a few comments about the weekend's brouhaha over on my private twitter (specifically about how I don't think it was an accident that I already had a substantial portion of the major players blocked) and I had multiple other Cohost users - regular users, who've been here basically since the beginning - say that they hadn't encountered even a whisper of this supposed sitewide culture crisis that's tearing The Community apart. Maybe something to keep in mind when proposing sweeping changes to moderation policy or security features
I mean if nothing else that's awesome in that it means that the site's getting big enough to have segmentation in the user base
Oh yeah, very much a satisfying "containment protocols working as intended" moment
