  Keeping society enjoyable/safe/functional/etc is hard work by design. That's just the way humanity is. Sucks it has to be this way, but we're fundamentally flawed.

  You patch one hole in your defenses against destabilization and another one will spring up eventually. It's always a work in progress.

  Make it impossible for people to use it?

  Wherever there are people, there will be nastiness. No matter the reason, some are jerks just because they can.

    Yeah that was kinda my point. There isn’t a “by design” solution to people being people

      You could build something that prevents people from being offended. Let them answer simple questions like are you offenden by . If they answer yes, no allowed to join.

      I get the feeling that more and more snowflakes are easily offended and the nastiness is partly trolling as they like to offend. (and sometimes the offended like to be offended)

      Maybe the only solution is sulfuric acid. (or alcohol)

        That would still require posts or communities to reliably label their contents correctly right?

        I strongly belief that if we all strived to get the maximum amount of alcohol into our bellies instead of the maximum amount of money into our accounts society would be much nicer.

  I’ll get to that in a followon post, but one straightforward way to make progress is to change some of the defaults
