Search Results: anonymous users

I've been here a little over 5 years, it's been bad at times, but nothing like it has been during this election cycle. It's at the point, no one can have civil discussions over disagreements and differing opinions without it turning into a toxic mess. Along with all this toxicity you have users abusing the block and I don't want to see this anymore because someone didn't agree with them. I've even witnessed users users leave because of the toxicity. Yes, I posted anonymous, because of the toxicity and mean DMs.

Okay, I'm 95% certain this question has not been asked on this platform before. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I'm having a moment over here.

So remember the good old days of GAG, when everyone loved this platform and the moderators and admins were all "for the people"? Well, I don't. But I keep hearing about them. GAG's glory days. When the content was good, when trollers were rare, and when people actually put time into thinking of, writing, and responding to quality questions and MyTakes.

Many moderators still try, but they can't do everything. Especially when GAG's guidelines have gone to the dogs.

So what's my question?

If someone started a new platform which was like GAG but better, would you join it even if not many people were using it yet? Would you join the exodus to that said platform? Help it become something great?

What would you add to the list of guidelines/ideas the platform is built on?

Here are some things I would add to it:
1. Personalized feed/content.
2. Posts can only be featured for a certain amount of time.
3. In the "discover" page where you have something like Instagram stories, have an "anonymous" story that shows all the new anonymous questions by those you follow.
4. Moderators review all anonymous questions and remove them if there's no reason for them to be anonymous (I. E. when it's a question like "Do you like Trump or Harris").
5. Before making changes the admin holds a poll and only makes the change if over 50% of voters support the change.
6. A category for suggesting changes to the platform. Minimum of one user-created change per quarter if that change is supported by 50% or more of users.
7. Instead of removing borderline "adult content" that shows a little bit of someone's butt, have a page that can only be viewed by logged-in users who are adults AND who choose to opt in.

Why are there Feature questions, Questions and Polls on the Main Page that are posted anonymously?

How about getting G@G to not put anything on the Main Page that's posted anonymously, reserve that for identified users only?
