Tbh it just seems like a troll post to me

I doubt it’s even real. To me, it just seems like a kid trying to be a smart-ass who thinks casual racism is funny (and knows what he’s doing). Also, to be clear, I never thought that you were advocating that. However, I do think it’s worth considering what type of content will make people feel welcome here. When someone stumbles on Babble for the first time, they probably have no idea what they’re looking at and I feel like that post, without any context, just makes us look like 4chan

Anyway, I admit that this is just vibes-based moderation right now. I’d like to draft up rules at some point (taking into account feedback from everyone) so there can be a better standard than just vibes.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, this is the only post I have ever taken any moderation action on (aside from Tab’s first post where he was testing if there was a slur filter, lol). My preference is definitely to be hands-off with Babble. I’m open to feedback if folks disagree with my approach!
