Seriously all these moderation jobs sound awful and the people who do them should have free counseling/therapy (that the company doesn’t have access to)

- olliej 5y agoThe moderators aren't responsible for filtering shitposts. They're removing child abuse and violence (including rape, beheading videos, etc), in addition to racist, *-phobic, etc const. I'm guessing the trauma is more due to the former than the latter, but on the other hand there's a different between seeing the occasional bigoted comment and seeing them solidly for 8 hours a day, every day.
- dijonman2 5y agoBased on what content I see getting taken down I have a hard time believing this. Any data available showing the type of content and the frequency at which it’s seen? I handled abuse reports for a ISP in the late 90s and the majority of it was shock/offensive stuff like lemonparty. The real severe things were few and far between even then.
