Still collecting my thoughts. If there's any policy changes they will be announced via @status.
@status @th3j35t3r Moderating for this kind of event can be difficult. On discussion forums we used to use short suspensions to take the heat off of an issue. But that's a very intensive kind of social engineering better suited to a staff of moderators. And often the cure could lead to as much or more animosity than the symptom.
@Fellixe @status @th3j35t3r That’s always the difficult part of moderation. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Lost track of all the heat and threats I took over the years doing it. People would flounce off at the slightest hint of moderation, but still demand action when situations arose.
@TheNewsOwl @Fellixe @status @th3j35t3r I’ve found that all you can do is try to find the middle ground. If people are unwilling to compromise, then there’s not much else to be done. You can’t create echo chambers for them.
@mach1group You have to be willing basically let some go if they so wish to. @Fellixe @status @th3j35t3r
