Ex-Reddit CEO on Twitter moderation

Like I can't believe that this reasoning doesn't resonate with people even outside of advertisers. Who wants to be on a social network where if one of your posts breaks containment you spend the next few weeks getting harassed by people who just hurl slurs and insults at you. This is already right now a problem on Twitter and opening the floodgates is the opposite of helping.

This reasoning is generally lost on people whom are generally not a target for slurs and harassment.

Well, my experience is that I post something or reply to someone that I don't get any feedback, so how could I ?

Just ignore it or block them. The only time it's an issue is when you engage. Seriously the only people with this issue can't let shit go.

I feel like you don't understand the issue here at all.

Blocking them requires first engaging with their content. This is what people always miss in the discussion. To know if you need to block someone or not involves parsing their comment and then throwing it in the bin.

The same goes for ignoring it. And eventually people get tired of the barrage of slurs and just leave because the brainpower required to sift through garbage isn't worth it anymore. That's how you end up with places like Voat.
