People probably don't want an unmoderated community, but a community is usually smaller than a social media behemoth/"platform". Twitter is actually the one site that doesn't try to divide its userbase into groups/communities, but pretty much all other platforms I know either have a very prominent "friend" or "group" mechanism. Even on Twitter there are many subcultures, not just homogenous "Twitter users", they're just not organised as such. One-size-fits-all moderation of whole platforms is the problem, in my opinion. Imagine if all PhpBB forums were moderated by a central team and you might see why some are against Facebook/Reddit/Twitter regulating their corner of the platform.
- smt88 5y agoI agree that private communities are better. You see only who you choose to see. But I disagree that Twitter is an outlier in that regard. Facebook, YouTube, and reddit (mostly) are spaces that technically have groups, but you're still flooded with algorithmically-chosen content made by strangers.
