I found this a profound statement about finding trolls entertaining. As someone who had a childhood filled with being trolled in real life, I've developed a muscle of just ignoring people behaving as such. I don't find it entertaining myself, and have never felt good or accomplished anytime I did choose to engage, but many seem to. I don't revel in conflict persisting, I truly want to find ways to bring people together.

Being able to delete a comment is a feature that Facebook has, which is an example of the kind of features that while probably not too often used, make it feel more like you "own" your posts, rather than them going out into the ether. This is on top of the visibility controls they offer. It makes it less of a town square and more of a personal publishing platform.

I want to share a couple of personal viewpoints that may be contrary to the popular view here:

* I'm fine with algos if they’re open source and auditable. The goals should mix high quality content with engaging content.

* Moderation should curb extremes, but platform-wide rules can be a slippery slope. I’d rather educate than eliminate.

"Moderation" on Facebook and Twitter is not really moderation. It's at the whims of the CEO.

What an amazing thread to wake up to! Thank you all for your insights. I do have a question. Most people in my communities use either FB or Insta, they do not use Twitter. I personally never got into Twitter as a result. I see @dansup building something like Instagram. I am a member of a couple of very active Groups on FB. Many friends use Stories and Reels. What do you think about these features being brought to the fediverse?
