I have an answer below with +7 and -5, but no negative feedback in the form of a comment, however. I find this perplexing. Perhaps it's "not useful" (the tooltip on the downvote button says this) but as it seems best out of 4 (2 deleted) perhaps it would be a good idea to provide constructive criticism. — Aaron Hall 3 mins ago

JamesENL

Can someone check if I could have handled this better. Except from not closing in the first place.

user202362

Why Stackoverflow/exchange emphasise so much on 'we are not a social network'?

user202362

As far as I can tell, chats here are more social than some of the social networks & 'networks' is just a misused term for herding.

rene

@Telkitty To prevent the idea of friends and the urge to cross-like each others status-updates

user202362

Yeah right, that's working so well ...

user202362

I think 'social herding websites' is a more accurate term for 'social networking websites'

JamesENL

OMG! I got quoted in the comments there by Peter Mortensen

rene

@Telkitty we are still people...

user202362

'Must fit in the herd & loved by the herd'

rene

@JamesENL \o/ your life is complete ...

JamesENL

Agreed

This is almost as cool as when Shog wished me a happy birthday

I know right, that famous grammar nazi 😂

It's a good feeling when your comment gets more upvotes than the answer it's on

@Telkitty to avoid you to realize you actually joined the herd.

@Telkitty have you ever read Pinocchio?

or at least watched one of the many animated movies?

Derpy

Few ever notice, but Stack works like Pinocchio's Toyland.

Stay here long enough and you will turn into a pony. Or a cat.

Or a burnt out, bitter, jaded husk of a human who finds obscene pleasure in flagging spam as a way of dulling the unending monotony of their day jobs...... so I hear...... from a friend

@HenryWHHackv2.0 why would you expect to be on the blacklist? Are you a spammer?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@rene No I'm not a spammer

was checking some amino communities to see how they handle posted content.

Seems they don't allow external images and host every picture on they server? I am impressed.

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy amino communities? What's that?

@Derpy well, if they have the resources, why not... :)

@ShadowWizard I have saw some spots on (think it was Youtube, maybe wikia?) and it is an app that seems to be aimed at creating communities of people with common interests/hobbies/etc

Since open community == everyone post what they want == malware heaven I was looking at how they handle this.

So far, it would seem that they mainly allow to post images - which are hosted on their servers, and links to youtube videos (that will probably use the embedded youtube player) so it seems they should be pretty safe from trolls and such
