My biggest concern is the "slippery slope" and the "tragedy of the commons" that befell reddit.
It seems that in user-submitted and -voted content, moderation (in both senses of the word) is a problem.
- nikolaj 19y agohaha, democracy isn't always pretty. Meanwhile I accidentally hit the down arrow on your comment.. sorry
- brlewis 19y agoBeware of slippery-slope arguments. Once you accept one slippery-slope argument, you have to accept them all. The people you're worried about are all happily typing away, posting juvenile comments on the story I submitted to politics.reddit.com yesterday. They have no motivation to come here. I think news.yc is safe regardless of what the editors decide about political stories. P.S. My second sentence is a recursive joke. I didn't mean it.
