I think maybe we need a longer list of social norms/guidelines.

Wikipedia has the strongest, most resilient culture of any major web platform. It gets stronger as everyone else decays. I think part of the reason is that they have a long wiki list of guidelines, so they can say, "You're using weasel words", or whatever specific violation people are using.

The pyramid of debate is fine and dandy, but it's not enough to cover all situations.

It's a tyranny. That's how they maintain their culture. If SaidIt wants to promote a monoculture then SaidIt also must become a tyranny.

Wikipedia is a mashup of majority-democracy, consensus-democracy, monarchy, anarchy

Was.

Now Wikipedia is a tyranny of the "majority" via an army of CIA and Mossad led propaganda admins.

I'm skeptical of arguments that claim everyone who argues against them online is a government agent.

Feel free to go through my Wikipedia history and look at the conflicts and tell me they all make sense.

If you only edit the safe topics you won't have a problem.

If you push the limits whether frequently or infrequently you'll see what I'm talking about. I haven't been super active on WP for all dozen years solid, but I'm pretty familiar with it.

On the other hand, I'm still learning Reddit culture.

Reddit culture is about memorising a list of memes and then doing this with them

Why did you link to the Wikipedia article on stimming?

Skepticism is a fine muscle which everyone should exercise more.
