This might end up disappointing, but I'd take that over tightly regulated speech. Just post good stuff when you can and know that you did your part! I do agree that community is severely lacking these days, I wish I had a better idea of what to do about it

I don't know the answer.

I'm sure it's much harder for a small minority of arseholes (or paid shills or whatever) to dominate a real-life discussion than an internet one.

Maybe there is a role for saidit.net private groups, small enough that the member can know each other personally. You can comment as a guest but guests can also be ostracised.

I think this already exists?
