Shameless plug, I've actually spent the last 2 years working on a HN alternative for crypto people because I got similarly frustrated with the HN community. It's still online and we're kinda trying to get an influx of people who'd like to use such a product. I'm not going to disclose the product name here because I feel like I'd be risking getting moderated. That said, if you wanna check this out please message me in private and I'm happy to send the link to you. My bio should have info

Hey CupricTea,

I'm working on building a social media site that wants to improve on moderation and I've found the case of the Grokipedia curious. So I'd love to get in touch with your but didn't find any details in your bio. Please reach out to me and let's do a user interview (can be via email too). My contacts are in my bio

Hey clanky!

I'm building a social media product myself and I saw your comment here. So I wanted to reach out and ask if you'd be up to talk about how moderation could be improved online. My contact data is in my bio!

Hey, if anyone thinks this article was wrongfully flagged, please contact me via my email in the description and lets talk. I'm building a startup related to moderation on social media so I'd like to user interview you

Hey I'm working on a product related to flagged content. Would you be willing to talk to me?

This framing is a concession to people who are terrorists. Many people who are optimistically working towards a better future (and here I mean broadly almost anyone) are not arguing for "infinite growth in closed systems." Everyone is and has been trying to optimize things as well as it is in their capability to improve the situation.

yeah, precisely as I laid out in my post too. But Brian Armstrong took the "build what I want" option when it came to a "decision that could be life changing to thousands of people"
