There's A LOT of discussion about content moderation right now and very little of it touches on the fact that we've all lived on the big social sites for the last decade-plus thanks to the massively exploitated labor of mostly-invisible moderation workers. The social web at scale wouldn't have happened without these laborers, who in addition to shit wages, have been exposed to literally every imaginable horror.

If we're remaking this world, let's do better on that front.

@dansinker so how do we do better? I mean, the not exploiting people part is obvious. But how do we have thoughtful and (at least somewhat) consistent moderation in a federated space?
I’m not sure it is possible to be fully consistent and timely, but I think we can aim for consistency as individuals and as a local community.
