It seems apt that the most engaged comment in the thread is a meta comment which derails any conversation about the content of the post itself.



The post says that moderation is first and foremost a signal-to-noise curation. Writing long form content in a Twitter thread greatly reduces the signal-to-noise ratio.


The medium is the message.


But also an example of how moderation or lack therein would help to serve a particular end goal. ex. HackerNews is a pretty well moderated forum, however sometimes the content (PC being related to technology) is within the rules, but the behavior it elicited in the other users is detrimental to the overall experience.
