You could move from a house to a cabin, trailer, or cave. Then you only have to deal with cabin centipedes, trailer centipedes and cave centipedes. But the house centipedes will be a thing of the past.
i learned about it because i noticed my profile has -1 reputation. i didn't even know this existed. I agree with others, karma on reddit was stupid and people used low karma as a way to gatekeep subs. you couldn't post until you have 100 karma, that sort of thing. It's bad for business in my opinion.
Fundamentally, karma limits were mostly used as an anti-spam measure, if a rather crude one. I was actually a mod of a couple relatively large subs, and while I did feel bad for the impact on new users, the benefit from how much spam we caught with it made it ultimately worthwhile. There very well may be better approaches out there though, and I am excited to see how things grow here, but it is going to be a problem that the Fediverse will face as well.
I guess it depends. The easiest thing would be making it inconvenient to get in the room for no perceived reward. Maybe it's a known room but everyone thinks it's empty/unimportant and it's blocked by an obstacle (boulder, waterlogged door, etc).
If you're going to introduce higher technology or magic, then a lock would make the most sense. Maybe it's opened by someone or it could even be a time or situational lock.
If there's high incentive to get into the room, then there's a couple options. You could make people believe they already accessed the room when the real room is hidden. It could be impossible to enter - no door, difficult material, catastrophic event that moved/blocked it, or even everyone knew of the room but doesn't know where it is now. You could make social deterrents. Maybe there's a superstition around the room, a religious indictment, security personnel, etc.
I hate gamification of... Everything, but if it's just "oh hey I've been here for X years and at some point I got 5000 upvotes / 800 downvotes, that's cool I guess", I'm kinda for it actually.
It's like with videogame achievements. They're not super important for most people, but sometimes it's nice to look back at the stuff you've played or what you had to overcome. Some are addicted to it too. Real life doesn't give you much satisfaction in this way.
Everything's dried out, devastating storms are ravaging earth, few people have survived and fight each other for the rare food. Wars have scarred the landscape. The largest animals that survived are the size of cats or rats.
I can barely speak my native language of English. But I am fluent in sarcasm and cynicism. I would become tired and bored with adding some kind of trigger warning on every post.
Maybe we need to revert to old forum posts, and include a signature like the good 'ol days? Mine might say;
"In order to insult me, I must first value your opinion. No chance of that happening."
This is one that'll come much sooner than 100 years from now
Hell, it's taking place now to an extent given how little social security actually provides coupled with the number of people who's had their pensions absolutely gutted.
Really tragic end for so many of the most vulnerable people.
Just look at the elderly crime rates in Japan and South Korea. No family to take care of them, so they commit crimes to get the state to house and feed them.
