> unwanted third party making demands on my information input
It seems like we want the same thing. If we don't have any kind of moderation, then that filtering is pushed out to each and every leaf node, instead of being handled centrally, and this is a huge demand on my attention for information input. Do you remember how bad email spam had gotten before we developed effective server-side spam filtering? Email had become basically unusable.
- Karunamon 6y agoEmail providers still deliver spam, they just deliver it to a spam bucket I can view for myself and decide if the classification is accurate. The categorization is handled upstream. The decision of what to do with that information is left to me. I think that's the ideal model.
- ev1 6y agoThey really don't deliver a huge amount of it; quite a bit (significant amount) is straight up rejected. What you get is the trickle that vaguely passed at least a few tests in the spam box.
