Shoq ๐ฟHuh, http://post.news founder who knew nothing about social media, suddenly discovers that moderation isnโt just a word that starts with โm.โ If theyโre already struggling with < 50,000, whatโs 5 million users gonna look like?
RC@shoq Unless someone is blatantly racist I don't report or something on that level. But I don't hesitate to block people who irritate me.

Matilda@shoq They call them Posters? ๐
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ป@owlislost @shoq โsee whatโs up and whatโs going downโ?!
When do they think this is? Sounds like a scene from โThe Mod Squadโ (1968-1973).
@owlislost @shoq love that show, too. Recently watched โThat Girl.โ
Ashton@shoq maybe itโs bad that the only prerequisite for creating massive social media platforms seems to be โcan persuade Marc Andreessen that this is a good ideaโ

Kee Hinckley@shoq โwe are heavily relying on your flags to moderateโ
Thatโs not going to scale.
And asking everyone to be nice is about as effective in this case as asking a roomful of toddlers.
James Davenport ๐ญโ๏ธ@shoq I mean, the very premise of the website is laughable: remember the good old days when social media pure and there was no spam, two chickens in every garage, bla bla blahโฆ
Unattributed ๐ค โ@shoq I'd bet they figure out they are going to need a moderation team pretty soon.... Fortunately, we know where they can find 4400 content mods that are looking for work...

@shoq Yeah this message has major newbie energy to it
petteriusaIt's just a simple fact and a matter of raw numbers. If you're going to run a social media site open to the public you're going to need *a lot* of moderation. That's some heavy lifting, and until the day comes when AI is at a trustable and effective level, that will cost *a lot* in terms of human hours and real dollars.
Anyone who tries to go around that simple fact is not going to be in for a good time. That is unless what they want, as apparently Space Karen does, to run a cesspool of unmitigated filth.
Iron Curtain (Chiptunes)@petteriusa @shoq True. At the very least the Mastodon fediverse has some thought behind its infrastructure to deal with moderation issues. It's far from perfect, but better than the alternatives.
PPN@shoq I am sure Hive will TOTALLY NOT run into the same issue /s
Now that you mention it, I haven't heard it mentioned in at least 6 months. Is it still alive?
Raptor@shoq Its looking more and more like I made the right call by coming here.
the fact i already had this account for 4 years before i actually started using it tells me I had a sense even back then that this was worth holding on to.
Kelley Graham@shoq Oh, of course post is in way over their heads. Get popcorn.
john_scotus@shoq Shoqqing.
David Chase (dr2chase)@shoq Someone complaining about financial scams at a company backed by a big crypto booster?
leading cackle influencer@shoq would love it if this post had provided clarification on whether e.g. "trans kids should be allowed to take to take puberty blockers" is a "position"
Imbas@shoq many fleeing Musk and Twitter is crashing according to fired x employees. I wasn't thrilled with Twitter anyway.
