A website that used to be fun, where people make stuff up and others vote(sometimes?). They won’t take action, likely flimsy excuse like “just don’t come here.”
When not used for defamation and/or generalized misplaced rage(insecurity) can be a source of confusion and mild hilarity.
Core problems:
- The “just don’t come here” stance avoids real moderation responsibility.
- No real vetting allows defamation and harassment to slip through as “jokes,” with voting as the only filter, favoring ragebait over accuracy or fun.
- Silence on reports fits the libertarian “user-generated = no liability” model, but it ignores how targeted malice can cross into illegal territory like libel.
Potential upsides:
- Captures niche lingo or absurd humor that formal dictionaries miss.
- The voting system sometimes buries trash, but it’s unreliable against brigading or grudge-posting.
Better alternatives:
- Platforms like this prioritize “freedom” over safety, turning mild hilarity into a vector for unchecked insecurity.
- The libertarian “no liability” shield lets targeted malice masquerade as humor, crossing into defamation without consequence.
Post your definition anyway-self aware users will upvote over noise. When they’re allowed to.. hey can we vote on stuff or not?
I vote urban dictionary sucks
Urban Dictionary’s “vote on it” facade crumbles when moderation ghosts reports and lets grudge entries fester.
Wiktionary’s too stuffy anyway for this vibe.
