Thank you so much, a great idea, really looking forward!
LI has one question - is the convos section of LI accessible and well useable on screen readers or other assistive software? Any quick fixes or big problems you have encountered in navigating that we could improve or look into? Very grateful for any of ideas or tips!
Moderation is clearly a tough gig, no one is ever happy... :) Just wanted to say thanks to all volunteers, we'll let you know about the rest of the process in the coming weeks.
We think debate and discourse of opposing views can be good and valuable, even on political stuff, as long as the arguments are bona fide honestly held and intended as an intellectual exchange, rather than just chest thumping, trolling or dog whistles. Unfortunately most political chat falls into the latter categories... :(
Yes please, there shouldn't be a word limit on OPs. And any blog-like comment would get featured and if there's genuine interest we can build out the capacity for that also, such as stickying or a separate section perhaps?
There is no shadowbanning functionality on LI, and also no selective moderation based on political views but there is probably regular moderation of trollish or disingenuous or counterfactual content from both sides of the spectrum.
The main hope is that mods, being lawyers, should uphold and believe in the values of the Indian constitution and truth and good faith and being kind to others on this forum. Is that ideological?
Dear existing mods / applicants / community: any thoughts or opinions on this? Please feel free to weigh in also.
We would love more mods to join, thanks for posting.
If you're interested, please say hi with your username (with a posting history of comments, preferably) and let us know which side you would want to join (dark or light) and why.
Yet many genuine queries do seem to get answered with genuinely helpful and amazing comments (but yes, for some reason, some also do not). The question is whether those would also get answered if the more popular 'Raga toilet routine' topics weren't also discussed? Is it only a question of visibility / bumps or maybe some topics don't have easy answers / are harder to engage with?
Seriously though, to OP: LI can not 'generate' anything as such.
