There is a maintenance cost of "being understandable to all members" in a community that is not allowed to go through

from [/villagepump/ in a community where throughness is not allowed, there is a maintenance cost of “being understandable to all members”](https://scrapbox.io/villagepump/ in a community where throughness is not allowed, there is a maintenance cost of “being understandable to all members”). from Communities that are allowed to go through There is a maintenance cost of “being understandable to all members” in a community that is not allowed to go through

• N: Hypothesis: In a community where no through traffic is allowed, there is a maintenance cost of “being understandable to all members”.

• T: panel discussion not interesting enough.

• N: ref. no need to guess the well chatter.

• T: Uh, group soliloquy.

• N: The conversation that took place a year ago was “rehashed” in the wake of this story

  • When this style of communication is happening, the desire for “immediate response” goes down.
  • (or only those who have gone down remain in the community).

• T: In an instant, I can say “Oh, I get it” or “I see, I see, I see,” or I can just go along with the conversation even if I don’t understand the meaning of what is being said.

  • Asynchronous, you have to take meaning. Asynchronous communication is hard for people who can’t take meaning. And asynchronous is hard when you don’t want to use your head.
  • On the other hand, I understand (or don’t understand) I may not be a good communicator.

• N: uke!

• T: ↑asynchronous but synchronous-like w

• N: If you can’t take in the meaning, it must be hard for you to think and look things up slowly, even in synchronous communication. w

  • With that explanation, it looks like you can only say “I see” without knowing what it means.

• T: Many people can’t make sense of it! That’s why we have Japanese as a test subject!

  • People say, “I see” even if they don’t know what it means!
    • I see!

• N: I see()

• T: That’s still fine for synchronous communication.

• N: The theory that they just assume it’s okay because they don’t run the checking process to see if it’s okay.

• T: If the checking process doesn’t run, then it’s okay at that point, for that person.

• N: If you originally intended to have a chat for the purpose of grooming, that’s fine.

  • What is the point of having a useful discussion, when in reality it’s just a catch-all of unintelligible words and A case of saying “I see” while thinking I don’t understand what you mean… is sterile… no, it’s not. Is it possible as grooming?

• T: It’s a great grooming. [It’s a good cosmetic action that makes you feel like you’re using your head even though it’s a meaningless conversation.
