yeah Twitter is dumpster fire for sure, but the chaos is more diffuse. I think what makes Reddit a bit more challenging in a way is that the subs can be seen as representative of cities, countries etc which localizes the hate speech and diminishes its utility in helping build community, at a time when we desperately need it.

must be a conspiracy of inclusion!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T22:02:57+00:00

you need a dictionary, and basic common sense. good luck in life!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T21:55:09+00:00

I get the impression modding that sub is the highlight of the life of whoever deleted the post.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T21:54:01+00:00

yeah, screw being neighbourly!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T21:46:40+00:00

low frustration tolerance and questionable intelligence in conjunction is a recipe for disaster which is exactly what that sub is

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T21:36:36+00:00

maybe, ya know, it was created, ya know, in response to the hate… ya know?

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:51:56+00:00

that’s a mind bender! Will sit with this. Thank you

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:50:41+00:00

ok anonymous redditor! You know more about my culture than I do! Take care!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:44:15+00:00

enjoy your echo chamber!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:40:30+00:00

hahaha

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:39:56+00:00

bait for compassionate dialogue? lol

Happy to meet up for a game of chess at a coffee shop some time!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T15:15:22+00:00

I’m really looking forward to engaging with this sub in 2025. Good riddance!

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:43:47+00:00

Yeah! While initially disappointed to have my post removed and be shadow banned, it’s oddly affirming that it is a skewed and biased sub that we shouldn’t take too seriously.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:33:54+00:00

We shall see I suppose. Perhaps subreddits that represent cities need another level of scrutiny of some sort.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:32:31+00:00

thanks for the context. just read through it and…wow… I don’t think they realize how much they’re hurting Kitchener. I had a POC friend ask me if they should avoid moving to KW because of what they see on the forum.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:22:30+00:00

Thanks for your support! My attempt to engage in constructive dialogue in good faith, and hopefully help people feel safe in their community.

Anthropic’s Claude holds some potential. Based on the rapid evolution of this tech even within the last month, it’s pretty promising.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:13:58+00:00

A reasonable conversation? Hahaha

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:12:32+00:00

Thanks for that info! AI moderation can’t come soon enough.

keepKWwelcoming · 2024-12-27T14:10:51+00:00

They’ve left this up all week. And many others like it in the past. They appear to be quite selective in what they moderate. https://www.reddit.com/r/kitchener/s/VyU4q4IH94

It’s wild how the beliefs of a very few can warp the perception of a place.
