I feel so bad for her, it sucks having to lose our loved ones in such horrible ways as an anvil being thrown into the ceiling, only for it to fall on his head, knocking him sideways, and killing him (he had like 2 hearts after bravely fending off a baby zombie), thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
- my guy was hit so hard, all his redstone fell outta his pockets :( Sadge
- unironically sounds like what grok would write if this was a tweet and somebody asked for grok's opinion, so you get my reddit star and also my entire reddit account if you like
  
  Fake. No mention of white genocide in south Africa or praise of Adolf Hitler.
  
  Oh, so I sound like an AI. Damn. Well, I'll try to fix that I guess. I'd get permabanned, it's happened 3 times, probably have an ip ban at this point.
Moderators have destroyed the Internet. I would rather have to deal with the idiots online than a moderator.
- Nope, no you wouldn't. If you want to see the example of unmoderated community, go to whatever new 4chan incarnation is. You will see child pornography, nazis recruiting children with badly fried memes, dead people, parts of dead people, characters from popular japaneese cartons involved in the depraved shit, and spam, so much spam, so much spam you couldn't even believe this much spam is possible.
  
  There was a decentralized Reddit clone someone posted recently and I was excited to check it out. Sure enough, racist shit.
  
  Aside from the CP, that is how it was back in the day and how it should be. And no it wasn't all spam. It's just that the spam was obvious. Today though the spam is the Internet. Go look at marvel or any sub Reddit, the product are the people, the spam is the site itself being sold to companies. We need freedom to post unsavory things so that these companies no longer want to risk selling their product between videos of jelly arms and someone training their dog to do Nazi salutes. We need to post that stuff in protest to get back to what we were
- so-called free internet advocates after being subjected to one second of unmoderated content (it's all gore and animal abuse)
  
  Some moderation teams are reasonable enough, they help. Others get off on deleting and reporting things they don't like. Unmoderated internet is scary.
  
  It was all. All of it. Nothing else.
- What the fuck my guy you’re not serious, you have to be intolerant of intolerance and a lot of intolerant people visit unmoderated boards
  
  Right? Not everything has to be the worst of 4chan, Ogrish, or Xitter.
- Yeah, I love how they do 4 hours discord calls discussing if they should or not delete a single post
  
  or just delete it for no reason whatsoever
  
  moderation debates are the best
  feeling like a judge serving a higher cause when no one actually cares
- Moderation would be better if there was a "see anyways" button on deleted content
  
  Holy shit, I actually totally agree on this. Like I've thought about this often and come to the same conclusion. It should be something where people can view what is being removed if they wish.
  One of my biggest concerns with moderation is that moderator teams eventually attract people trying to conceal things and reducing what the spirit of the internet originally stood for.
  Like having a company try to erase any bad stories about it's products by controlling all the spaces we could talk about that product.
  But if we can all still choose to see what is removed it gives us a big window into what moderation teams are manipulating things and which are honest teams.
- I too think we need more Nazis on the internet /s
  But seriously that's what you get with less moderators.
  
  Yea we've increased moderation massively and totally have less Nazis today then ever before
  
  yes, but not only, and that's the important thing to understand
- Join nostr. Is a decentralized social network where no one can stop you from saying what ever you want.
  I've not seen any kind of porn (adult or child). No gore.
  What you do get is all the anarchist liberals, trump supporters, homophobes, racists, and WAY TOO MANY conversations about bitcoin (I recommend adding a filter to remove any posts that mention bitcoin just to actually find something different)
  
  Oh shit I'll check that out. Might be what I'm looking for. I'm so tired of modern digital spaces. Reddit really opened my eyes to what it all eventually becomes. It's all about clearing the space for political ads, marketing and manipulations instead of by regular people for regular people. And it's all clear cut by moderators who think they're doing a good job.
  
  Well, nostr is based on some blockchain tech, of course it's full of cryptobros
- The problem is that if you actually have no or insufficient moderation then people just start using the site to post child pornography. And then you visiting what used to be a site you like becomes basically illegal and dangerous, not to mention potentially traumatizing. I'm not exaggerating, there was a small game fan forum site I used to love along with many others, but someone caught on to the fact it was run by just one guy and kept signing up with fake accounts and posting child porn or links to it. Luckily I had already fallen off using the site by then, but one of my Internet friends who still visited it kept me updated on the drama. First everyone normal stopped visiting. Then it eventually got so bad the owner had to shut down the site.
  People lack imagination when it comes to what will happen with no moderation. It quickly becomes horrible.
  
  So yea that's true. But I think there is a big gap between allowing CP vs banning users because the comments are not inline with marvel family entertainment corporation ethos
- The type of person who would willingly become a moderator is the exact type of dumbass you do not want doing the job
  
  They're the TSA of the internet
How did he die?
- clearly he got squashed by a giant anvil, looney tunes style
- he was killed
- Cats ate his face
  
  Lyra I think you’re confused, I’m asking about OP’s kid.
