After the debacle of HF20, the rush to HF21 should give us pause. Have we learned nothing?

But, damn, it’s good to see a long-form @trafalgar post after such a long hiatus.

HF 20 had some hiccups at the start, but once things started rolling along it works very well
We do need an RC system and in the future things can be built around it to prevent spamming, increase onboarding etc.

It's not like we have an otherwise superb platform going, I really don't understand the reluctance to try different things rather than stick to an obviously failed system.

I really don't understand the reluctance to try different things rather than stick to an obviously failed system.

1. So many people have left that many of the people remaining are on the extreme end of the distribution of liking it the way it is, for whatever reasons.
2. There are no doubt people who (at least in their own minds, and potentially in reality as well) stand to lose from this, and some of them are no doubt attempting to influence the discussion both directly and via sock puppets and all of the usual manipulation techniques that by now well known. Those with less of a direct stake, less of an understanding, or who are generally more impressionable are likely influenced.
3. Plain old status quo bias, fear of change, etc.
