  • I tend to like systems that give the user tools to moderate their own feed and content they see. Then it’s up to me to decide what I want in my timeline and what I don’t want. This can be a bit heavy on the system though, especially if you don’t have lot of metadata and have to rely on full-text search blocking. Seems to work on Mastodon though.

    This then leaves only certain moderation tasks to the server admins (automating CSAM scanning/reporting) - and filtering out content that breaks the server ToS.

    Back in the days, Slashdot had a system where you could “opt-in” as a moderator, and this would randomly give you “mod-points” every now and then. You could use your points to up- or downvote posts and comments. I quite enjoyed it and it didn’t feel like I had to apply for a 2nd job (which is the case with lot of other moderation systems)






  • I swear I’m not trying to troll

    But you’re doing it anyway. If you really are old enough to be posting “back in my days” shit on the Internet, then you must also be old enough to be able to reflect on what you’re actually trying to say and start a discussion about.

    Games, like any hobbies are done with whatever expendable income and time we have after everything else “important” is done. They are hobbies. Taste in this fleeting field of entertainment is just as personal and subjective as anyones taste in music. I’m pretty sure you know since you used to have a band in high-school after all.

    So what exactly are you trying to say with your post? Why play long games? Because I want to. Just like you seem to want to troll people in this group.
