Live feed of the best moderator on the internet, straight into your veins.

Here's todays official post from the BARDCHIVE:

08/20/20 16:41:07 with a score of -2: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditsecurity/comments/idclo1/understanding_hate_on_reddit_and_the_impact_of/g29e1qd/?context=8

(Apparently mandatory disclaimer: I'm not an admin)

As a for-instance -- the model I use in conjunction with my work on /r/AgainstHateSubreddits breaks down types of hatred and harassment roughly equivalent to the ontology Reddit is using - but also, with respect to (for example) White Supremacist Extremism (an internal category I track), that has expressions in every other category - hatred based on religion, political compartment, gender, sexuality, ability, and with violent tendencies. They also specifically and pointedly instruct their adherents to hide the fact that they're White Supremacists - they tell them to "hide their power levels" and eschew specific distinctive signals that separate their efforts from the efforts of any other more-specifically-focused / "legitimate" political / social / cultural movements.

They know that people will reject them if they're openly identified as the KKK / neoNazis / violent white supremacists - so they do things that obscure that connection. And, sometimes, they do things that seem bizarre but are identifiably related to hatred, because they think it will "red-pill" recruits.

I am going to press X to doubt that Facebook is compensating people whose primary role is community moderation.

At least, in the US.
