Okay folks: this morning we're launching something we think is pretty useful. Lots of people have strong opinions on how content moderation should work, but they've never done it. So we built a content moderation mobile game (browser-based): https://moderatormayhem.engine.is/

Details about it are here: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/11/moderator-mayhem-a-mobile-game-to-see-how-well-you-can-handle-content-moderation/

@profcarroll @mmasnick i was terrible at this - fired after round 2 - what on earth am I doing moderating a Mastodon instance!

@simoncox @mmasnick

After some practice I got promoted. But much harder than real-life modding a small instance.

I won #ModeratorMayhem on Round 8

Promoted to moderator manager!
