No one expects things to be perfect or that there will be no mistakes, but there's a whole lot of space between "perfect" and "braindead stupid".
The worst part isn't so much that mistakes get made, but the way those mistakes are dealt with, which is often a frustrating and silly experience.

And also unlike an algorithm the moderator might be a different person the next day. So mistakes are not magnified the way they are with an algorithm.

- fho 4y agoCould this be a browser plugin? No idea how "invasive" a plugin can be, but ad-blockers and privacy plugins seem to be able to change a lot on webpages (including blocking ad videos on Youtube). So theoretically it seems possible to build a plugin that moderates comments on web pages ... "No one expects things to be perfect" ... so it does not hurt to try?
