That is not a technological problem, as what is one persons "hate speech" is another persons political speech, and no one can agree on where the line is
For me the line is no line... All Speech should be allowed, the problem with moderation is attempting to do it in the first place at the platform level
Give people their own personal controls to see or not see, to block, mute, or otherwise disassociate.
Anything beyond personal tools to control your own overton window will be a problem. Reddit is a prime example of this where by countless issues with power tripping mods who over censor communities exist.

- phpisthebest 3y agoHave you been to reddit? Or other places where political conversations are had? Also let me ask, is declaring "The US should have strong border security and limited immigration" being "decent" because I have seen people respond to that exact statement with claims that is hate speech... What about "There are only 2 genders"
- say_it_as_it_is 3y agoReddit is designed to propagate content to the front page that invokes indecency. Take, for instance, a video of someone jumping turnstiles at a subway station or a homeless person bathing themselves in free hand sanitizer solution. What kind of comments is a video like this going to solicit? If you want to keep things decent and avoid nastiness, prohibit content that evokes a strong emotional response. This strong emotional response, unfortunately, is what keeps people coming back.
- stcroixx 3y agoIt can’t be subjective like that. Nobody will ever agree on the definition or trust whoever is making the judgment call.
