Moderation is a hard problem.

It is an •intrinsically• hard problem. It’s not hard because of design choices or tech choices or incentives or laws or capitalism. It’s hard because humans.

Ignoring it doesn’t magically make it easy.

Grand edicts don’t magically make it easy.

AI doesn’t magically make it easy.

And federation doesn’t magically make it easy.

It’s •work•. Real work. And when that work doesn’t happen, it causes harm.

@inthehands @mekkaokereke I know that’s right, I had the “pleasure” of being a moderator once, never again.
@mekkaokereke @cjcrew Hats off to all who do the work. It’s a tough job.
