Piper ThunstromAdvice for community managers:
Use the Olivia Hill rule.
It's surprisingly easy to enforce:
Fascists get really upset and will talk to you about why the rule is bad.
You then ban them.
That's it, that's all the work it takes!
Vincent Sparks 🔜 Furlingame@pathunstrom i have been called a fascist for telling people to vote for kamala harris instead of jill stein
@AVincentInSpace It would be way more funny to just block you for this, but I'm gonna be nice this once:
The reason this works, besides fascists self selecting into being vocal about it, is because the kinds of people who are willing to quibble on a rule that says no fascists?
They're going to push on all of your rules. They will be an explicit drain on community management resources.
Frankly: letting rules lawyers overwhelm your community is a fast way to end up with a community with low trust and exhausted volunteers.
Daniel Bohrer@pathunstrom thank you for the additional explanation, this was not clear to me before!
