2·1 year agoI think we should’ve vote on how the comments should be moderated.
It’s just not possible for a community to survive by allowing anything and everything. It’s very easy to get people rallied by spreading fake information especially those which are false in subtle manners and are suggestive of ill will.
But more importantly, mods have huge power in shaping the direction of the discord.
For example /r/India and /r/IndiaSpeaks are opposite leaning in most of the type of posts that are discussed and both sides feel disgusted with the other. The only difference between them is the moderation and the kind of posts that are allowed, correct me if I’m wrong.
I’d hope for a community that is:
- Scientifically oriented.
- Rationally minded.
- Wants to grow at individual level and at community level holistically. Ranging from intellectual growth to personality and behaviour improvement, with aim to increase life satisfaction.
- Open to all ideas without belittling those of different opinion. At the same time if enough evidence is present, support the thesis with confidence.
- Has healthy amount of self doubt and doesn’t judge absolutely unless supported by hard facts.
I’d suggest the non-goals be:
- To be so India specific that things which aren’t directly related to India gets deleted even if the community is interested in discussing it.
- Put rules above the wishes of community. For example, deleting a post because it’s somewhat related to a megathread that was posted a day back.
- Allow everything in the name of free speech. Facts and evidence (data) win over opinion.
- Be a link aggregation community rather than discourse oriented community. (E.g., Titles should encourage discussion and it should be OKAY have title be different from the article title.)
Indians best identify with the other Indians, hence my choice of posting these ideas on here.

Which one is your favourite? Aryabhatta being from Nalanda makes it my automatic choice.
What are you going to do differently than /r/India mods?
I used to get my posts and comments deleted citing some weird rules which are open to interpretations. It’s run like a dictatorship.
FWIW It’s not clear cut if AI generated data feeding back into further training reduces accuracy, or is generally harmful.
Multiple papers have shown that generated images by high quality diffusion models with a proportion of real images in mix (30-50%) improve the adversarial robustness of the models. Similiar things might apply to language modeling.
