# How to ruin a community in 3 easy steps
|
||||
|
||||
Caleb James DeLisle
|
||||
|
||||
This is less a presentation than a wild tale of trying to keep the Hyperboria network a cool and
|
||||
friendly place for all kinds of people, especially women and minorities who don't have so many cool
|
||||
places to go on the internet. I failed hard. I tried to keep an open atmosphere for free exploration
|
||||
of ideas but ended up with a community infested with nazis and misogynists. Along the way I learned
|
||||
that tolerance is not necessarily a good thing, that no amount of rules can beat actually knowing
|
||||
the people you hang with online and that what I call "Anonymous Internet People" have proven to be
|
||||
the source of almost all community problems.
|
||||
|
||||
Still I have not given up. I and a number of others have taken up the task of trying to understand
|
||||
the forces which lead communities into the gutter and design infrastructure to subtly push people
|
||||
toward being excellent to each other.
