Comment on Hexbear is incapable of understanding hypocrisy
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 7 hours agoNo. Mods were born out of corporate and political interest to control mass media. Nothing more. Mods are there to convert digital spaces to align with their interest. They’re there to prevent people from actually forming another Egyptian spring, wiki leaks, anonymous or anything that could disrupt the current power structure.

How would you handle the CSAM issue though?
Few years ago it was an issue since someone spammed CSAM that it got federated to multiple servers and it took concentrated effort from community mods and instance admins to solve the issue.

Automation plus mods are there to handle CSAM. Mods should be a nuclear option. They’re not there to uphold an ever growing list of vague rules like cops who arrest and beat citizens for “resisting arrest”.
