I'm still focused on the "effectively" part, since the other part has always been endemic to the Internet (and communities!).

- johnnyanmac 2y ago>the other part has always been endemic to the Internet (and communities!). Indeed. But unlike machines (and AI, in the future), humans don't scale well. managing a potential audience of 10000 user with a few hundred commenters focused in a few countrie is an order of magnitude different from the millions of users with thousands of commenters and a very well established malicious actors with no respect for community. It's more work, for more people, for less appreciation. It's also harder than ever to pay for labor as a small community, unless you are very well off.
- bragr 2y agoSorry, "effectively" was an ambiguous word to use. I meant it in the sense of "for all practical purposes; in effect," rather than implying it was good. To be clear, I think the admins are mostly white knuckling the moderation problem.
- DANmode 2y agoYes, as they have been forever. My point: at least there's something worthwhile there on the more desirable network to require moderation, rather than it all being on Facebook.
