  • What if moderators were assigned by post instead of community?

  • If you didn't like what the guy posted you'd block him or his post.

  • Moderated communities allow topics to stay on track and fit the theme of a community.

    Consistent community themes don't interest me. Good conversations do. I think this is a common preference.

    It allows you to find different comms if you don’t agree with how one is being run.

    My system would achieve the same, but easier. Because it's easier to post or go to a different post than to go to a different community or create your own community. Also, with tags, you would avoid the problems with having multiple places to post the same topic. Also crossposting (when your post covers multiple topics) would be easier.

    By reducing it to tags, you risk topics getting flooded with irrelevant things or bad takes,

    I don't see how such a risk would necessarily arise. And if it did, because switching to a different conversation (and moderator) is so easy, you'd just do so.

    meanwhile OPs get to ensure no one in the comment can argue against whatever bad take they might make.

    I've seen the same in communities. And who knows how often it happens? Posts just disappear.

    Basically is makes the experience worse for every other user by cluttering feeds and promoting biased moderation.

    Your arguments seem to lack substance.

  • Ok.

  • No really, I do. The problem is that when you leave it isn't just the moderator that you leave, it's the entire community. That is a defect in Lemmy.

    It's like having a hot gf with really bad body odor. If you want the hot gf then you'll have to put up with the stink.

  • One path to a better merged head would be better communication tools. Even a whole rule-system governing how to communicate (like we have in science).

  • ...The poster may not align with the views of the community...

    In other words, censorship would become more difficult.

    Also, there wouldn't be "communities".

    While the selection of community moderators aren't the best, they are better than randos who come in to shitpost loudly.

    Moderators can be randos too. It isn't like there's a vetting process.

    It's more important to have an easy way to navigate between moderators than to have good moderators.

  • Seeing as how a community can be achieved with just a tag and a search engine, one could argue that the only reason we have communities here (built into the structure of Lemmy with official moderators and such) is to make the job of monitoring and censoring us easier.

  • Are two heads better than one?

    Jump

  • That makes sense. One forgets that such a thing is possible here in the wilds of the internet.

  • Science is that. Right?

    A really careful, formal way to talk about what you see. A really careful, formal way for us to talk about that with each other.

    And combined into a society of scientists that way, we overcome our individual limitations to achieve something superior.

    Maybe the ideal forum software would be a kind of mechanized science.

  • Are two heads better than one?

    Jump

  • I think about the problem of (and pardon me) "dumb people".

    If you make a system where dumb people can talk to each other and have really good conversations, are you really achieving anything? I mean, they're dumb. Polish a turd and it's still a turd.

    Or, maybe if two dumb people talk together really really well, they combine to make a smart person. Maybe that's real.

  • Yes I see how that's a bad thing. Nonetheless.

  • I think I responded to those other comments quite intelligently. They did not reply.

    My post was removed by the moderators for breaking rule 3. That may have something to do with their not replying.

    You should mind your manners.

  • Thank you very much. I didn't know this exists. I will check it out.

  • What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?

  • I think we live in a natural Matrix. Formed of biological and social habits of thought and perception. I think that this monstrously warps our perspective and blinds us.

    I think that we are surrounded by leprechauns and aliens. We just can't see them.

  • I might.

    But ya, jumping right to "how do I censor" in distasteful. I'm focusing on making good conversations first.

  • I don't know. I haven't thought out every detail yet.

    But what you're actually asking me is "how do we censor stuff?"

  • What if moderators were assigned by post instead of community?

    Jump

  • Yes, I know how one deals with bad moderators in lemmy. Mine is easier.

    Also, my system makes moderation easier. Which makes for better moderators.

    Mine handles directing conversations to topics better too. Specifically, there wouldn't be multiple places to post the same topic post and crossposting is trivial.
