MODERATORS
I post my ignorant opinions somewhere. There’s always someone who will correct me with correct information.
Not always.
(see what I did there)
Ah yes, Moore's Law
It’s Poe’s law
Would you say Poe is cunning, and likes ham?
Fixed!
I think you mean Cole's Law
The life of the shitpoaster.
But for real comment section can be very useful to learn if you are willing to do it.
There is generally somebody who knows what they are talking about. Just got to figure out who.
Reddit had so much fluff and moderation as if they didn't want you to find good info.
You’d be surprised how much effort people will put into proving you wrong.
So basically, we have an instinct to treat misinformation as a priority threat. We are naturally obsessive/compulsive about eliminating misunderstandings?
There’s probably a solid evolutionary reason for that.
