TedModeration, who does it better:
A) A company with millions of dollars in funding, and the backing of multiple investors with social media experience.
B) A handful of volunteer queers
(And to be fair, like, it only works because we have some awesome folks helping moderate this place and have ~700-2k active users at any time. If we had 300k users I'd figure out how to hire folks)
mvu@esdin I mean it also works because our mods *care*...
"We need to protect our community" vs "Extra effort in protecting this demographic will have good optics and lead to profit"
Alexander The 1st@esdin To be fair, I think part of the problem also involves other languages; I don't know the demographics of your server, but the issue with Facebook is that they had some English moderators...and much fewer Burmese moderators...which is how Myanmar got a foothold in what they were able to do.
@AT1ST I'm specifically talking about Bluesky right now. Meta is a whole different beast at a whole different scale
@esdin Ah, that's fair.
The weird thing for me is - isn't bluesky still in invite only mode?
You'd think they'd have moderators scaled to that, and slowed down to check if there's gaps in their moderation team.
@AT1ST You'd think that, but they continued to invite folks and now have ~300k+ users and still no head of Trust & Safety
