Fastnote is staying clean and civil

Last month, we asked about the possible contradictions between civility and anonymity for Fastnote, a new site that says it's about "civil, public, and anonymous notes to anyone that everyone can read".

We said that Fastnote was staying clean and civil. Is it still?

Yes, it's still working - the site is clean and civil. They have an incredibly simple approach. Every note to anyone or comment on the note has a link right next to it that says "report". If you think something isn't civil, is offensive, or in any other way doesn't meet the guidelines, you simply click and report the note or comment. It's then teed up for other Fastnote users to assess through the community moderation process.

Nice new graphics and a simple "How Fastnote Works" link on the home page.

Fastnote seems like a good place to say anything (as long as it's civil) to anyone and a good place to see what people are saying to anyone.

Civil + Public = Fastnote.
