Central moderation is a deeply flawed model, that always ends in everyone being unhappy with a platform.
When was the last time we said the Internet Protocol, routers and hubs worldwide, need "sex workers and black groups". Sounds like nonsense, because it's just a platform, a technology.
Well this is how social networks must also be. And a social network should allow multiple communities to form and each community to moderate itself. There's no other viable way I can think of.
The platform should only be invoked for dire circumstances when the platform integrity is being violated itself.
- Zigurd 3y agoElon is doing a good job delivering what you want. Let's see if anyone wants to wallow in a sewer full of Nazis. A social media site is like owning a bar. If nobody cool shows up, your bar is boring. If the bouncer doesn't remove loud overt bigots, that's who your customer base is now.
- BulgarianIdiot 3y agoHe absolutely isn't. And we can debate that if there's any confusion how what he's doing is the exactly opposite of what I'm talking about. I frankly can't comprehend anyone who would see Elon's day to day erratic solo decisions that change the rules on the platform, and compare them to the nature of a standardized, predictable, basically "eternal" protocol like IP is. Twitter also has no feature to build communities on top of it, who can moderate themselves. It's "flat". I this it has a feature to this effect, something roughly comparable to a "subreddit" would be, but no one is using it and it's clearly underbaked too.
