1. 3

there was some discussion on irc about the types of links we want to see here.

12:52 <+jan6>  I don't want them to be mixed in, aewens doesn't want them at all
12:52 <+jan6>  you can't filter "everything EXCEPT for stuff taged with this"

let’s talk about it and figure out what we should do.

some of the proposed solutions:

  • run a separate lobsters instance for non-tech stuff
  • forbid links that don’t meet guidelines
  • do nothing

      posted rules, after this is said and done, would be cool. The about is just “a link aggregator”.

          I will, once it gets settled :)

      I’m personally a fan of having it on a separate instance. I’d personally like the links instance to be a place to provide links that further the tilde philosophy (see here). I don’t particularly believe that world news fits into that category, especially given the wide range of political views and potential alienation that could lead to drama in the community.

        That sounds good to me. I didn’t really give this much thought when I set it up. I should definitely have another look at the bbj thread too!

      19:12:48 * | jan6 doesn't think that sort of links belong here
      19:13:18 aewens | Neither do I. ~verse is supposed to take me away from the non-sense from the universe I live in.
