Nice summup of the current moderation debate/situation across platforms.
People make communities, not protocols.
“The only meaningful differences derive from the people who use the platforms, the community. That’s what Elon Musk has destroyed on Twitter. That’s what each of these would-be competitors needs to reconstitute.”

Baking a healthy moderation strategy is a mix of communication and code
This is just an example from another startup, with a team of 16, currently taking moderation very seriously, I’ve taken the liberty to copy it on my blog because I think it’s a great example that shows the very clear intentions at Spoutible regarding racism.
