Key word here: ex (joking)... but seriously I'm absolutely baffled why someone would look to a former reddit exec for advice on moderation.
I guess you could say that they have experience, having made all the mistakes, and figured it out through trial and error! This seems to be his angle.
What I got from the whole reddit saga is how horrible the decision making was, and won't be looking to them for sage advice. These people are an absolute joke.
Who is doing a good job at scale? Is there really anyone we can look to other than people who “have experience, having made all the mistakes, and figured it out through trial and error”?
Sorry if this wasn't clear, but that's just his perspective. Mine is that they're a bunch of clowns with little to offer anyone. Who cares what this person thinks more than you, I, or a player for the Miami Dolphins.
Twitter is going to have to moderate at least exploitative and a ton of abusive content, eventually. I don't understand how this rant is helpful in the slightest. Seemed like a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
You do have a good point about there not being very many good actors, if any.
Who cares what this person thinks? They actually have experience tackling the problem. You or I have never been in a position of tackling the problem. Of course I am interested in the experience of someone who has seen this problem inside and out.
