As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of "demerit point" system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.

My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.

If someone isn't willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.

EDIT I just noticed we're from the same instance lol, so you definitely know what I'm talking about 😆

I think you'd work your way in naturally, same as any community throughout all of history.

I suppose an outsider might not be able to tell a web of trust that's only bots trusting eachother, so you still have to think critically about what you read

Now this is the kind of calling out we can get behind

I'm just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they're doing. Granted I haven't worked for any huge companies, so that's probably why I have difficulty picturing it.

Yeah I've been avoiding it since The Change became apparent, but I feel like posting screenshots kind of keeps it alive. Like people think they're got one over on the bigot billionaire

They're also different colours and one is fuzzy like a tennis ball; but I think we're getting off the point now

Screenshot of Mario Kart for SNES with text reading "give up?" And two choices shown: "yes" and "no." The option "no" is selected. Luigi is also pictured on the lower half of the screen.
