Slow Decisions

Revisited an old moderation rule that felt too rigid in hindsight. I almost rewrote the whole system, but instead I made one small change. Sometimes the fix isn’t to build smarter tools—it’s to give people more time with the ones they have. Drank a warm cortado and let the logs roll in. Most of them said nothing at all, which I took as a sign it’s working.

This resonates with me so much. We’ve become so focused on creating faster and more efficient tools, but sometimes the most thoughtful improvements come from slowing down. Giving people more space to make their own decisions feels like a more humane approach.

I get the logic, but isn’t there a risk in letting things settle too long? Sometimes moderation needs to act fast, especially when things get heated. Giving more time sounds nice, but can it really hold up when there’s pressure to act in the moment?

I love this approach. It feels like giving everyone a moment to breathe before reacting. It’s a subtle way to let things settle naturally instead of rushing to fix everything. Plus, that cortado sounds like the perfect way to pause and reflect.

Seems like a shortcut to me. Waiting around while issues pile up isn’t a fix—it’s avoiding the problem until it blows up. It feels like the tools are doing less and less. There’s a reason we built systems to be quick and responsive.

I appreciate this approach—slower, more deliberate decisions are a good way to avoid knee-jerk reactions that can cause more harm than good. It’s a nice contrast to the usual rush to fix things. Letting the system work quietly in the background is a valuable shift.
