问HN:有没有其他人使用过典型的“精明”的在线社区?
我所说的“典型的精明”是指那些相对小众且以特定行为特征而闻名的网站和其他在线社区。我认为,区分这些在线社区与其他社区的关键特征是,当有人发布一个链接到另一个不熟悉的网站时,社区的其他用户几乎是本能地回应说这是一个“IP记录器”或“IP抓取器”,因为他们已经融入了这个在线社区的文化。
我还发现,这些网站往往更依赖于他们的Discord频道,而不是实际的网站,常常形成一种缺乏透明度的秘密文化。Discord的参与者通常会在这里讨论那些卷入丑闻的用户。最好的情况通常是某个用户被指控“抓取网站”或“使用机器人”,而最糟糕的情况则是用户群发现某个知名用户参与了在线诱导等行为。往往被抓现行的成员是“工作人员”中的一员。
最后,我还想提到,表现出上述特征的在线社区似乎特别容易出现服务器模拟器和“私人服务器”,以复制在线社区网站或游戏的功能,或者其代码库的某些部分被直接泄露。无论哪种情况,总会有一种文化,认为能够访问原始网站或游戏源代码的用户是秘密知识的守门人。
我知道这些在线社区可能非常可疑,我并不想纵容这些具有这些特征的特定在线社区。我只是想听听大家对他们遇到过的符合我描述的在线社区的看法,而不明确提及相关的网站或游戏。我只是想知道这种原型是否比我之前想象的更为普遍。

By "archetypically savvy", I mean websites and other online communities that are both somewhat niche and known for specific mannerisms. I'd say that the key mannerism that distinguishes these online communities from the rest is when someone posts a link to another unfamiliar site and other users of the community respond almost reflexively that it is an "ip logger" or an "ip grabber", since they have assimilated into the online community's culture.<p>I've also found that these sites have a tendency to revolve around their Discord channels more than the actual website, oftentimes creating a secretive culture that lacks transparency. The participants of the Discord usually come there to spill the tea about users who've been caught up in a scandal. At best, it's usually something like a user "scraping the site" or "botting the site", and at worst, the userbase finding out that a prominent user has engaged in online grooming and what have you. More often than not, it's a member of the "staff team" that gets caught red handed.<p>Lastly, I would also like to mention that online communities that exhibit the hallmarks outlined above seem disproportionately prone to either having server emulators and "private servers" created to replicate the functionality of the online community's website or game, or having parts of their codebase leaked outright. Whatever of those two happens, there's always a culture about users having access to the original site or game source code being the gatekeepers of secret knowledge.<p>I'm aware that these online communities can be very sketchy, and I don't mean to condone these specific online communities that have these traits. I just want to get everyone's input on the extent that they have encountered online communities that match my description, without explicitly naming the sites or games in question. I just wonder if this archetype is actually more common than I previously thought.
