10 years of Community Signal! Thank you to everyone who has supported the show.
Community Signal is turning 10 on December 7! I'm thinking about putting together a greatest hits show of some of my favorite clips from the last 10 years. That would be a fun way to reflect. Thanks to Serena Snoad for the suggestion.
I'm open to other ideas, as well. Thanks for listening to the show!
Thank you, Karn, for your friendship, support, and all of your work over the years.

Today marks 10 years since Karn Broad started working on Community Signal as the show's producer. I've actually worked with Karn for roughly 14 years in total, going back to a previous show that I hosted.

LEGO Ideas is a platform, provided by the company, where anyone can submit an idea that gets turned into an official LEGO set. With plenty of creative talent in-house, why do it? Tim Courtney, from 2020:
“99% of the smartest people in the world don’t work for us. Ideas can come from anywhere. It’s about leveraging those ideas, but it’s also about building those relationships with people. … I’ve had three community members come in and get hired as LEGO designers.”
“... That hurts a little bit more than just dealing with bots, because this wasn’t just bots. These are people interacting with other people, and there was a human element there. The researchers are real people. I’m a real person. This happened between real people, and it wasn’t just AI.” -Logan MacGregor
In March, the volunteer moderators of the Change My View subreddit learned that researchers at the University of Zurich had been covertly conducting an experiment on their community members. By injecting AI-generated comments and posts into conversations, the researchers had wanted to measure the pe
When researchers at the University of Zurich conducted psychological experiments on the Change My View community without consent, it was one human space taking advantage of another human space, which made it even worse, according to Logan MacGregor, a volunteer moderator in the community.
