Twitter/HN is not an apples/apples comparison... but sure, Twitter is completely within their _current_ lawful rights to moderate and censor whatever content they want. But I would posit that they are actually causing more harm than good through these efforts, and they've now firmly placed themselves in a total quagmire in doing so.
- nonotreally 6y agoThat is a really good point - HN is much smaller and attracts a very different audience. I agree, they have created a really unfortunate situation for us and for them. In principal, forgetting the practicalities, would you support HN style moderation on Twitter/FB? My gut reaction is yes. It seems to be a good balance of gut check and "we don't have time for this". o/t 5 star online conversation dude.
