You expect the platform to make the value judgement? If I subscribe to a feed, whatever the platform - twitter, rss - it's because I trust the author that feed to make that value judgement. If I wanted someone else to make that judgement, I'd subscribe to their feed instead.
- ddevault 4y agoMy point is not to suggest that the platform should be making value judgements, but that the user remember that it's not doing so. The authors you trust are ultimately just people, and people are flawed, and the medium exacerbates those flaws.
