That's a great idea! Let's ban all moderation! What could go wrong?
I, for one, am so tired of Google CENSORING these so-called "spam" emails! How DARE they declare themselves the arbiters of what is and isn't spam! It's an OUTRAGEOUS ABUSE of POWER!
- jimhi 5y agoOn Facebook you decide who you follow and get notifications from. This is a bad take.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoDitto for Twitter, where "end all moderation" seems to be working fine. (I am in fact writing that with a straight face, because the day-to-day experience of being on Twitter is very different from what you hear in the headlines.) Of course, being on a highly moderated site, it's unlikely that a viewpoint like this will seem reasonable to most readers. But it can work. The problem happens when (like here) the goal is to show people specific things, rather than people choosing their own things. Facebook, I think, doesn't really want people to choose -- the algorithm is basically why their business prints money, and the algorithm has its own optimization agenda.
