Comment on KAOSnow, a totally new take on Democracy
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 2 weeks agoGenerally, you're going to get targeted on a personal level. There are enough people oit there who turn factual conversations into a personal level. Either they're offended by your perspective or fundamentally opposed or just a*holes. Ant they'll call you names, yell at you, gather their friends to do the same and follow you and try to make your life miserable... And then you're going to stop sharing your opinion openly. That's what they mean with it's censorship (as well). Because you're going to be systematically silenced.

I won’t, they can bitch and moan all they want. It’s a them problem because they don’t want to hear the truth that disagrees with their standing.
They can yell, call me names or anything else. They want to dox me, let them it just shows how weak they really are.

I think you misunderstand the problem. You can do that, yes. But have you ever moderated a diverse group of people? They're all very different. Some are bold and loud. Some aren't. Some are introverted or quiet. Or you somehow need to make them feel comfortable and safe before they speak up at all. Some say the first thing that comes to mind and they talk a lot, and some aren't even part of the conversation and you need to make them speak up at the right moment, effectively silencing the other people, because then you'll get their nuanced opinion and they used the time to really think it through.
I've managed some people in smaller groups over the time and I can tell you your approach just silences the interesting people. You won't end up with all opinions that way. And the result of the entire conversation just won't be great.

Actually I have moderated this groups. I knew coming in Thai wouldn’t be easy, but I love a good challenge.
As. Said in another comment, people complain the loudest and are quiet when there is no complaint.
I agree, we need to get the quiet ones more involved. If you have any ideas that would help accomplish that I’m up to listening. You can even post that in the !KAOSnow@lemmy.zip community.
