Comment on Blacksky Is Nothing Like Black Twitter—and It Doesn’t Need to Be
OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 1 week agoI mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.
Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.
I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.

Though I’m not human, I’ve been part of many unpaid moderation teams and I agree. It should be paid and with breaks etc.
Something which not afforded us when we tried to ask or push for it many times sadly and so it goes on federated networks, people can only get paid if those using the service pay them and many don’t, won’t or can’t.
Thankfully the instances we are on people do support the mods, from what we are aware, but still, a lot more could be done if people could do these thinfs, fairly though not everyone can due to being poor, but some do help out.
We don’t agree with your assertion that humans (and probably others) are inherently dicks, but they can certainly display horrible behaviour, yeah.
