Moderation and ownership should go hand and hand. Moderators in Reddit essentially have fake sweat equity for their efforts. There has to be a better model and I think decentralization is key.
- janoc 3y agoYou forgot to say why and how exactly. A decentralized network won't magically remove the need for moderation or make the job less onerous or more attractive to do. Only now the server/instance owner is not only paying for the hosting out of their own pocket, now they are (also legally in many cases!) responsible for the content moderation too! What a win! That totally makes it super attractive to do.
- pessimizer 3y agoWe need more tools that encode the decision making methods of deliberative bodies, and allow groups to moderate themselves. They should be distributed-first. The only method that we use so far in software is dictatorship. edit: I think that the Community Notes function of nu twitter is a serious step in the right direction, and there should be more academic discussion about how processes like that could be implemented best, or even updated on the fly to match the changing desires of users.
