A) However bad you think the current content you see on the site is, I assure you the content from new users we delete is worse. (for comparison, recall that the entire rest of the internet exists, and the state that it’s in. Many new users just haven’t internalized the site culture at all)
B) I think it’s plausible we should raise standards higher than we currently have, but doing a good job of it requires a lot more attention and manpower than we currently have.
Oh, ok, I see. I definitely had something different in mind when I read “poor epistemics” and “low content” in Ruby’s comment, but if you guys are talking about the sort of stuff that random drive-by trolls and such post, yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clarifying!
