    I have the opposite impression of the over-moderarion. Most Redditors seem to be annoyed by it, and against how it’s stifling conversations

      Though that may be the case with references to Luigi, they’ll happily abide by much senseless moderation like

      • blanket blocks of comments containing links of any kind in subreddits such as r/mildlyinfuriating
      • blocks of meta discussions
      • strange ideas of brigading that treat a link to a post in another subreddit as “community inference”
      • practical bans of subreddits airing grievances about bad moderation
      • blocking any insult even when it doesn’t amount to harassment
      • blocking any expression of violence even when it’s not incitement until it swings back & strikes against expressions of class consciousness that refer to Luigi.

      With newer platforms like mastodon & bluesky, it seems like more of the same: their advocates often gush proudly of their robust moderation & claim that their extra moderation is indispensable to a safe, non-toxic experience.

      I think all we need from moderation is removal of illegal content & perhaps offloading of off-topic content somewhere else. Rather than block offensive content, they could label it & let users decide whether to filter it out. Bluesky already does this, but they hardcode their in-house moderation, so users can’t opt out as we saw when they blocked the Trump toe-sucking Elon deepfake video.

        bluesky is much very afraid of trump/elon admin what they will do the platform, since t hey did not kiss thier ass during inaugaration like META, YOUTUBE, AND REDDIT DID, and tiktok too.
