Moderators have destroyed the Internet. I would rather have to deal with the idiots online than a moderator.

Some moderation teams are reasonable enough, they help. Others get off on deleting and reporting things they don’t like. Unmoderated internet is scary.
I would say they’re all pretty terrible just some are more terrible

The problem is that if you actually have no or insufficient moderation then people just start using the site to post child pornography. And then you visiting what used to be a site you like becomes basically illegal and dangerous, not to mention potentially traumatizing. I’m not exaggerating, there was a small game fan forum site I used to love along with many others, but someone caught on to the fact it was run by just one guy and kept signing up with fake accounts and posting child porn or links to it. Luckily I had already fallen off using the site by then, but one of my Internet friends who still visited it kept me updated on the drama. First everyone normal stopped visiting. Then it eventually got so bad the owner had to shut down the site.
People lack imagination when it comes to what will happen with no moderation. It quickly becomes horrible.
What the fuck my guy you’re not serious, you have to be intolerant of intolerance and a lot of intolerant people visit unmoderated boards
Nope, no you wouldn’t. If you want to see the example of unmoderated community, go to whatever new 4chan incarnation is. You will see child pornography, nazis recruiting children with badly fried memes, dead people, parts of dead people, characters from popular japaneese cartons involved in the depraved shit, and spam, so much spam, so much spam you couldn’t even believe this much spam is possible.
There was a decentralized Reddit clone someone posted recently and I was excited to check it out. Sure enough, racist shit.
there is a decentralized reddit clone, it’s called lemmy lmao
being decentralized doesn’t mean you have no moderation
No fucking shit being decentralized doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to have no moderation, how the fuck did you get that from what I said? This clone I’m talking about specifically advertised itself as being unmoderated and free from censorship. I’ve forgotten the name and don’t really care to try and remember it. If you’re interested, look through my comments for me mentioning people using the N word. That’s what stuck out about this clone. Just full on pages of people using the N word with a hard R.
Aside from the CP, that is how it was back in the day and how it should be. And no it wasn’t all spam. It’s just that the spam was obvious. Today though the spam is the Internet. Go look at marvel or any sub Reddit, the product are the people, the spam is the site itself being sold to companies. We need freedom to post unsavory things so that these companies no longer want to risk selling their product between videos of jelly arms and someone training their dog to do Nazi salutes. We need to post that stuff in protest to get back to what we were
Also, “Aside from the CP” doesn’t exist. In your unmoderated utopia you can’t just put this aside as if it doesn’t exist, you have to deal with it. Or be OK with it, like you’re OK with everything else.
The spam isn’t just for things that are savory. The spam can be for unsavory things, propagandizing, griefing, or advertising outright illegal things.
I don’t want to have to wade through a shit ton of nazi bullshit or ads for whatever is the silk road replacement nowadays in order to take a beat after work to read shitposts. Dealing with inane stupidity shouldn’t be the bar for what people have to put up with to interact with each other.
You act like everywhere was like that. We had no rules and it was never like that. You had to go out and specifically look for it like liveleaks.
What we lost and what we gained was never worth it.
We essentially just recreated cable television
You know why it wasn’t like that everywhere? Because some places had good moderation. It was like that since the days of FIDO. If there was a good community, it was good because they didn’t allow bad shit to exist in their community.
If you think spez invented moderators to sell you coca cola, or whatever, you either don’t know how shit works, or do and just secretly want to wipe treads with guro.
Moderation would be better if there was a “see anyways” button on deleted content
Join nostr. Is a decentralized social network where no one can stop you from saying what ever you want.
I’ve not seen any kind of porn (adult or child). No gore.
What you do get is all the anarchist liberals, trump supporters, homophobes, racists, and WAY TOO MANY conversations about bitcoin (I recommend adding a filter to remove any posts that mention bitcoin just to actually find something different)
Well, nostr is based on some blockchain tech, of course it’s full of cryptobros
Oh shit I’ll check that out. Might be what I’m looking for. I’m so tired of modern digital spaces. Reddit really opened my eyes to what it all eventually becomes. It’s all about clearing the space for political ads, marketing and manipulations instead of by regular people for regular people. And it’s all clear cut by moderators who think they’re doing a good job.
I feel so bad for her, it sucks having to lose our loved ones in such horrible ways as an anvil being thrown into the ceiling, only for it to fall on his head, knocking him sideways, and killing him (he had like 2 hearts after bravely fending off a baby zombie), thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
unironically sounds like what grok would write if this was a tweet and somebody asked for grok’s opinion, so you get my reddit star and also my entire reddit account if you like
Fake. No mention of white genocide in south Africa or praise of Adolf Hitler.
Oh, so I sound like an AI. Damn. Well, I’ll try to fix that I guess. I’d get permabanned, it’s happened 3 times, probably have an ip ban at this point.
i didn’t mean it in a bad way, but sort of I guess.
just the corny story as a response sounds a bit like grok’s freshly squeezed plagiarism juice from what I can tell from popular grok screenshots on lemmy. I haven’t ever dealt with grok myself.
It’s already happening. The AI responses are filtering back to humans and now humans are starting to sound like AI.
Nah man, I’m just autistic. I’ve been sounding like this.
my guy was hit so hard, all his redstone fell outta his pockets :( Sadge
How did he die?
clearly he got squashed by a giant anvil, looney tunes style
Cats ate his face
Lyra I think you’re confused, I’m asking about OP’s kid.
Cats ate his face, Lyra knows more about it than I do
