The perfect Mastodon moderation principle

@ErikUden

In case this comic is meant to be taken seriously:

This strategy might be problematic because it gives uncontrolled power to those who can simply define who is a bigot (e.g. also by lying or tinkering with facts). Defending oneself with rational arguments is not possible after the FWOOOSH has happened.

There are many objectively hard problems to solve and rational debate was a major innovation of humankind which before used to solve problems by violence and mere power projection.

@kddk @ErikUden People who redefine words at will can do so to abuse any power. It isn't helpful to consider or converse with those kinds of people.
