Your thoughts on moderation are really interesting! The forum I moderated was relatively small and people mostly knew each other, so everyone generally behaved themselves; I didn't have to worry too much about tricky moderation challenges.
Before you post something, ask yourself would somebody punch you in the face if you said it in real life? If yes, don't post it online.
Very wise!
Twitter lives in the moment, very much - if you look something up a week later it may be buried.
One of the things I really appreciate about Dreamwidth is the ability to fairly easily go back to look at someone's earlier entries, or see what they posted on a particular day, or see everything they've posted about a particular subject. It's a site that values the past. I think I sort of took those features for granted back in the Livejournal days, and then fandom moved to spaces that didn't have them, and I was really confused by their absence.
Your observations on Internet use among kids are also really interesting. We got the Internet when I was around eleven, and it's so hard for me to imagine what it's like to have access to it earlier than that.
I'm very glad I can provide a space for chatting!
Unrelatedly, how did you find the latest Zodiac Trial route?
It is a joy and a privilege to hear Rooster speak, as I'm sure he'd agree. Mouse's 'Please be less enthusiastic about our murder plot' is one of my favourite lines in the game.
I thought there were some really interesting interactions between Mouse and Ox on that route, too. I'm looking forward to his route; he's a bit of an enigma at the moment, and I'd like to learn more about him.
