↪ Replying to @jmspool
@jmspool I believe we can avoid confusion by talking about ”harmful design” rather than ”dark patterns”. It is harmful regardless of intent. We can then gauge moral intent by:
1. what effort was made to avoid harm
2. the response/act once the harm is known
@jmspool ”Dark patterns” is then just a way of categorizing common themes among the harmful designs.
Or what say you, @harrybr ?
