Baffling to see a woman in a friends FB thread supporting the presence of Tate bros 'Pimping Hoes' podcast on #Spotify in the name of free speech. Describes herself as a 'free speech absolutist'. Just not for those poor country PoC moderators that have to deal with the absolute sh*t pouring into socmed streams every day - see screenshot from Gillespie, 2018 Custodians of the Internet.

Screenshot of a page from 'Custodians of the Internet' by T Gillespie. Sample text includes: "For instance, in its community standards, Facebook asserts, “We don’t tolerate bullying or harassment. We allow you to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but remove content that appears to purposefully target private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them.” And later, “We remove content that threatens or promotes sexual violence or exploitation.”1 But a moderator looking at hundreds of pieces of Facebook content every hour needs more specific instructions on what exactly counts as “sexual violence,” so these documents provide examples like “To snap a bitch’s neck, make sure to apply all your pressure to the middle of her throat”—which Facebook gives a green checkmark, meaning posts like that should stay. In a time when misogyny, sexual violence, and hatred are so clearly on the rise in our society, it is disheartening, shocking, that Facebook could be so cavalier about a statement like this. But these documents are rife with examples like it, drawing artificial lines through a culture of misogyny and hatred that deliberately slips between veiled threats and generalized expressions of cruelty, slowly making it somehow acceptable to objectify, intimidate, and exclude women. Still, given ten seconds, some posts have to go and some have to stay"

From my reading about social media platforms growing exponentially, there comes a point where growing a #moderation team is essential. This problem is less common with the #Fediverse with self-hosted small instances. But what about the larger instances? Have any #devs thought about implementing features such as is available in #Discourse. A #trust based moderation system as a community grows? Is that even a feasible thing to do?
