The moderation scheme was silly. Reported comments would go before a jury of other parler users. If the jury voted so, the comment would be treated as rule breaking and the account could be sanctioned.
This is obviously flawed, because juries would vote innocent comments not supporting the mainline parler views to be extremely rulebreaking, and vote death threats (+doxxings, etc) that aligned with mainline parler views to be OK. In some ways it’s a great example of why pure community-led moderation doesn’t really work.
So the moderation was either extreme or near nonexistent depending on what political views were being expressed.
- hajile 6y ago"Politics are downstream of culture" -- Andrew Breitbart He might be wrong about a great many things, but he was right about this. Intolerance (under the guise of "cancel culture") is a result of growing tribalism. Two parallel cultures fighting for supremacy. That jury is fundamentally a great idea (that's why we use juries today). The only problem is the culture of intolerance. Parler's jury is just a representation of that intolerance just like their users being kicked off Twitter was a representation of intolerance from the other side. Unfortunately, this intolerance has become a part of culture and inevitably flows downstream into intolerant politics. If the intolerance doesn't stop, separation or war has always been the result. I fear that people on both sides won't see this until it is too late to prevent.
