Your statement is missing the point, then.

And? Do you you think multiple countries can't be major issues?

He's pointing out that they're the pot calling the kettle black

Yeah. Now I'm wondering how it does. I had assume deletion on my end would delete for all. Is that determined by server if it does or something I suppose?

You should not confuse leftism as synonymous with anarchy and decentralization.

Decentralization does not work for large scale infrastructure that is needed to make a modern society function. Power concentrated invariably produces hierarchy, but you can still have power divided enough to combat that with a centralized system. Ranked choice voting, sizing your house correctly, and allowing many competing viewpoints to exist through campaign funding laws can stop most of the ills.

It's a large mistake to assume that smaller groups of people will not still oppress others. Decentralization aids supremacy groups by allowing them to carve out areas where they have greater control, giving them a stronger foothold to take over society at large.

My first comment the one you replied to, is deleted on my end.?

Yeah I deleted that when I noticed. I'm curious how you saw it actually... Because I immediately deleted it

I don't think your distinction between moderation and filters is correct.

I would say it's closer to filters are something to curate what you see, and moderation is to curate the community.

Trust based systems are absolutely an amazing idea, but it is a very good idea to make it so once you have a level of 'trust' you don't just apply filters, but actual moderation instead. Having a hybrid system, where you can apply filters from a certain set of users, but also allow purely trolling or immoral(ie cp and gore) to be fully removed so that new users or visitors to the community do not have issues.

It also serves as a stronger prevention measure against racists and nazis.

It also serves to preserve the correction function of communities, without allowing popular will to reject reasonable expectations just because they dislike them. That has happened a lot in redditor communities.

I strongly agree that purely centralized moderation is bad, but some level of centralization of moderation is beneficial.

You could also have trust go by community rather than platform based to prevent exploitation

Sounds like you're mistaking filters for moderation.

Yup. There should be high enough tariffs that it discourages shitty trinket buying... But focused on the crap, not just a blanket

Geopolitics wise, it's a false dichotomy. Countries do not need to pick between the 2. There's also Europe to align themselves to.
