Dark Side posts -- I've been very relieved by everyone's effort to stay civil, and that it's working. It's so great. I'm a bit worried about having nowhere to send people if things get too wanky (now I could always say "take it to the DS post"), but given how rarely has DS been used, I suppose I worry for nothing.
Different engagement making things feel more pluralistic -- I get what you mean, and yeah that's a good point! I'm hoping that's how it shakes out.
I had hoped the chat corners themselves would become this, that people would come with their own topics and everything, but it never really happened. What people have said made me understand that I'm trying for a system (chatroom-like comment section) that clashes with a very ingrained pattern of behavior (topical post + only on-topic comments), and maybe the best solution is to give up on that system.
