I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

Formerly on kbin.social and thriv.social, now on dbzer0 or piefed.social

  • if we're going by developer politics the only drama-free one is mbin, though there's a new fork of piefed called pylova because of the recent piefed drama

  • it was about letting the students collectively set their own punishments and self-govern their behavior to shut down the possibility of authoritarian abuse. anarchists have been exploring this idea for centuries

  • get told they are supposed to be the better than the others

    better than those not at Princeton, not better than others at Princeton nor to the point of sabotage. in fact anecdotally they get told that even though they were probably top of their high school class they would be average or even low-performing, and will have Princeton's full support in managing the transition, especially the mental preparation for "mediocrity"

  • a culture of immense pressure and a zero sum game where collaboration between students is unthinkable

    making sure your friends are working honestly doesn't have to be competition. i don't like the implication that collaboration has to be conspiring to cheat against some authoritarian figure, instead of making sure all of your friends succeed.

  • yeah...

    well to be fair, unruffled hasn't answered mine either

    but rimu's a bit of a surprise to me, probably since i've never really "known" (seen) them much before other than "python dev, of piefed, making a third popular activitypub threadiverse client with lots of ambitious features"

    still, i think some of the things directed that way in this thread are quite unfair

  • i'm interested in seeing data of only bans (preferably just sitebans, but if that's not possible all their bans would be fine) by admins. commag moderation style has a lot more leeway

  • i don't see how that has bearing on what i said lol. i argued about not creating many new communities and not closing inactive communities. the last new community i heard of were the two or three replacements for feddit, and just the 41st top community (41st since I estimate the photon pager has 40 items per page by default, and i clicked the top of page 2) has not have posts in over a month, let alone mod actions.

  • as devil's advocate i don't think account karma should be a factor. downvotes would only be an extension of how exclusionary the instance is. dbzer0's moderation is quite democratic, after all

  • the decision to graph per-community (i'll call those "commag"s) doesn't make sense to me. it seems to me like a bad approximation for lifetime total users that doesn't control for either instance attitudes on commag creation or troll account registration (these usually don't create communities). i'm unacquainted with pawb but i wouldn't think they're very ban-happy, and the fact that these graphs show them as twice as ban-happy per-community as, and a bit more ban happy than ml should tell you this isn't very good methodology.

    it seems more like dbzer0 and pawb don't create many communities (but don't close stale ones either, unlike .world), which makes sense as the ones that do exist are quite focused and targetted to the instance userbase.
