The hardest problem in computer science is to make a social network without nazis

@bruvik - I hear you, but it's not really a tech problem is it. It's a human social problem.

I think it's important to remember that and not expect any kind of fool proof technological solution as long as it exists in society.

@stpaultim @bruvik

The prevalence of Nazi's may not be a tech problem, but building a scale-able solution for keeping them it is one. Manual moderation just doesn't work at Twitter/Facebook scales and is too prone to human bias.

Not that I have any actual solution 😅

@austinphilp - There is quite a bit of evidence that tech is also prone to human bias.

Personally, I think that the focus on finding a tech solution is a distraction and sometimes an excuse for not addressing the human/social problem.

Not that I have any actual solution for that one either. ;-)

@stpaultim Very fair point, and I'm a software engineer with very poor people skills, so I don't doubt that my tendency to look for technical solutions is itself a personal bias 😅
@stpaultim @bruvik and there is the problem, you think it's not oart of CS's field to solve social of software.
