The issue is that my site right now is too crowded giving this post reached a good position on HN.
On regular days, this are much calmer. You can check other sites using the Townsquare on https://townsquare.cauenapier.com/ (fixed link). Check out the map.
Maybe add some geolocation filter for higher number of users? For example, limit number of people to 10 based on closest location
Pretty anti-internet idea IMO
I miss when the Internet was truly global.
I guess for Town Square - if you mean it literally as in locally sure - but otherwise, massively limits the potential of this project.
Ohhh...that's an interesting idea!!! I'll put that on the roadmap, thanks!!!
I can't open that link. seems like no DNS records associated with the site?
sorry! Wrong Link
It's https://townsquare.cauenapier.com/
All I see is disgusting popups - “k-ll j——“, “r-pe n——“ Very upsetting, no thanks to you.
Who wants that on their web site? In some jurisdictions you’re going to be in trouble for facilitating hate and calls for violence (or worse). This is why what you have implemented will not work in its current form. I suggest you move to a system that characters can trigger only standard phrases and emoticons.
Those messages are originating from here and the same thing happens whenever someone shares any type of an anonymous messaging board.
That "standard phrases and emoticons" would break the whole idea.
But I guarantee the most of the times, the TownSquare in my site is much calmar and friendlier. People having actually interesting conversations. What you saw was a reflection of the page going FrontPage on HN
Nice bunch of folks we have here, huh?
You have a small amount of idiots everywhere. It requires just one to spam such a system.
