Small nit: I'm blessedly largely ignorant of Twitter and all of this hullabaloo, though one difference I suspect in moderation is that any flagging of this submission was the result of user action as opposed to any action taken by a mod.
- vacri 10y agoI don't think that there's all that much difference between a mod doing it and the relatively small number of userbase flags doing it. Hell, if userbase flagging was available in Twitter like on HN, no-one with a household name would ever be able to use it, regardless of whether or not they were even political...
- grzm 10y agoI think in the case of your analogy it does. In one, the argument seems to be that a central authority is censoring users. In the other, it's a community enforcing its standards. One can argue that there are potential problems in either case, but I think the nature of the problems are slightly, but importantly different.
