Centralized systems are very dangerous, moderation is a huge problem and has a massive chilling effect.
I support civil discourse and disagreements, I actively want to see both sides and not just an echo chamber.
We all have different beliefs and the only way to move forward as society is to foster open and honest conversation.
This is especially applicable to politically correct language and culture. Some things are uncomfortable and that’s ok. It should be.
- giantrobot 4y ago> We all have different beliefs and the only way to move forward as society is to foster open and honest conversation. This presupposes every "belief" and discussion is in good faith. It also presupposes that there's no second order effects from the amplification of "beliefs". A bigot is not interested in learning about whatever it is they're bigoted against. They just want to amplify their message. Trolls and shit posters just want to troll and shit post. If you eliminate moderation then all you'll get is people using your platform to scream at everyone else. Assuming everyone is interested in actual conversation is childishly naïve.
