This mentality is why I believe every centralized social media platform has a limited shelf-life. We don't have a lot of discussions like this about what people should be allowed to say in an e-mail, or snail mail, or on a soapbox in Times Square as long as they aren't harassing anyone directly. If you aim to run a global social media platform, moderating in a way that is satisfies every one is an unsolvable boolean satisfiability problem and acting on outrage from users is a vicious cycle. Eventually the proprietors will (understandably) start to feel responsible for the content that is posted on their platform and take actions that anger large parts of their userbase. The next generation will use the next hip platform that isn't encumbered by this legacy and then the cycle will continue.
- disposekinetics 6y agoI think that is a very interesting concept I had not given enough thought to. Is the solution something like federation? Protocols over platforms?
- r00fus 6y agoThe solution is more nuanced and powerful group (social) filters - just like RL.
