Content Moderation

To account for the gaps in these solutions, many social computing systems use multiple tiers: Tier 1 is often algorithmic moderation for the most easy-to-catch problems. Tier 2 is human moderation, either paid (like Facebook) or community (like Reddit), depending on the platform.

In light of recent issues on Clubhouse & harassment targeted at @taylorlorenz, I want to share some thoughts re how difficult it will be for CH to set up an effective moderation system -- in particular, how difficult it will be to protect women & other marginalized groups. /1

Cancel culture creates a mega opportunity for a new social network -- Twitter 2.0 1. Pseudonymous (no verified profiles!) so you can't be cancelled and policies are applied fairly 2. Public follow graph + DMs (Twitter + Telegram) 3. Discovery engine to find insightful new voices
