Not saying moderation shouldn't happen. Just wanting to understand the feeling in my gut that leads me to think there's a much deeper extent of biased moderation than we think. Hell, the amount of flagging might even be a sign of a lack of moderation because it might mean @dang isn't unflagging.
- keikobadthebad 3y ago... and you care about this so much, because...? Flagging doesn't stop you interacting with it AFAIK.
- chaps 3y agoBecause curiosity drives the fuck out of me. No need to be weird about it, friend.
- c0nducktr 3y agoIf something immediately drops off the front page/is hidden, it's the same is it never being posted. Hard to interact with something which doesn't seem to exist.
- keikobadthebad 3y agoIt's quite different. There's a public log of killed stories, with clickable link intact to the source, available inline to anyone who cares. If it was never posted at all, there would be nothing. Killing it removes the chance for traction and buzz. If you don't have a hidden motivation (ie, financial or political interest) in driving views to your link, it's not very painful if it doesn't gain traction without being killed, nobody was going to comment anyway. If there is a hidden motivation to the link, like the torrent of web3 sewage, or information space poisoning actions by foreign powers, as a user I'm actively happy to see them killed.
