i think we have very different models of things, so i will try to clarify mine. my best bubble site example is not in English, so i will give another one—the emotional Labor thread in MetaFilter, and MetaFilter as whole. just look on the sheer LENGTH of this page!
there are much more then 3 comments from person there.
from my point of view, this rule create hard ceiling that forbid the best discussions to have. because the best discussions are creative back-and-forth. my best discussions with friends are - one share model, one ask questions, or share different model, or share experience, the other react, etc. for way more then three comments. more like 30 comments. it’s dialog. and there are lot of unproductive examples for that in LW. and it’s quite possible (as in, i assign to it probability of 0.9) that in first-order effects, it will cut out unproductive discussions and will be positive.
but i find rules that prevent the best things from happening as bad in some way that i can’t explain clearly. something like, I’m here to try to go higher. if it’s impossible, then why bother?
I also think it’s VERY restrictive rule. i wrote more then three comments here, and you are the first one to answer me. like, i’m just right now taking part in counter-example to “would find it surprising if you needed more than 3 comments per day to share examples, personal experiences, intuitions and relations.”
i shared my opinions on very different and unrelated parts of this conversation here. this is my six comment. and i feel i reacted very low-heat. the idea i should avoid or conserve those comments to have only three make me want to avoid comment on LW altogether. the message i get from this rule is like… is like i assumed guilty of thing i literately never do, and so have very restricted rules placed on me, and it’s very unfriendly in a way that i find hard to describe.
like, 90% of the activity this rule will restrict is legitimate, good comments. this is awful false positive ratio. even if you don’t count the you-are-bad-and-unwelcome effect i feel from it and you, apparently, not.
