Reddit still relies on human moderators, admins, etc. What I'm talking about is a purely community driven moderation scheme where, through various algorithms, the community dictates what is and isn't acceptable.
- mminer237 6y agoWouldn't that just be essentially upvoting and downvoting and deleting downvoted posts? That was originally the intent of reddit, that people would downvote unconstructive comments, but that quickly turns into the community "moderating" away anything they disagree with, and enforcing an echochamber. I don't think communities can have enough objectivity to effectively moderate themselves.
- watwut 6y agoParler moderated by showing post to 5 random people and taking their result.
- gremlinsinc 6y agoThat's a great idea, if those people were vetted for being objective. If I posted the communist manifesto, would that be blocked, would I be kicked out? What about censorship on something like that?
- watwut 6y agoKicked out, it was heavily right wing community. That was partly point of it. But even outside of Parler, no human is ever perfectly objective.
