Join us in bringing order out of KAOS.
KAOS = Knowledge As Our Saviour
KAOS is a way for your voice to be heard about ANY current event. We primarily use our website for this endeavour. However, we also are willing to have good conversations here, whether it’s about AI, Government or international issues, We want your voice to be heard. There will be absolutely no Doxxing or CSAM allowed, regardless of location.
This is a sister account to r/KAOSnow on Reddit.
Help us get up and running, ask your questions or state your opinions, all we ask is that you are straight forward with what your opinion is about, otherwise than that, we censor nothing on our actual website, here on Lemmy I have to abide by the rules of the Instance I’m on.
ETA: Just because there is no censorship, within law, does not mean we do not have any moderation. Moderation does not mean censorship. Moderation is the process of making sure that rules are being followed as well as governmental laws.
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 as a moderator 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. You get the opinion from the dominant people, mostly the perspective of the confident men amongst them and relatively simplistic ideas. And the result of the entire conversation just won’t be great that way.
Edit: That’s due to the nature of the conversation and the dynamics with people. Additionally you can’t even talk about some topics this way. If something is dear to me and complicated, I can’t let that become subject of ridicule and let people pick on it. That’d really hurt. So I won’t even bring it up.
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 [email protected] community.
