More than Musk it's about the history and necessity of platform moderation and how most every platform that scales ends up adopting similar content standards eventually for a reason: "As anyone who has lived through (or read up on) the history of content moderation knows, platforms all went through this exact process. The process that Musk thinks no one has actually done. They all started with a fundamental default towards allowing more speech and moderating less. And they all realized over time that it’s a lot more nuanced than that. They all realized that there are massive trade-offs to every decision, but that some decisions still need to be made in order to stop “making the product worse” and to figure out ways to build “maximal trust” and to be “broadly inclusive.” In other words, for all of Musk’s complaining, Twitter has already done all the work he seems to pretend it hasn’t done. And his “solution” is to go back to square one while ignoring all the people who learned about the pitfalls, challenges, nuances, and trade-offs of the various approaches to dealing with these things… and to pretend that no one has done any work in this area." |
It's not that there wasn't tradeoffs, it's just that the social media is incredibly biased because of these tradeoffs, because you change your policy to favour the most vocal ones. Social media is often a shithole because it's not banning people for being assholes, but it bans people for being moderate - that is if you don't align with the vocal ones, who attack you with hate speech and report you for one.
When I was more active on this site, it was easy to get yourself banned for being asshole towards other people, which is why the forum has been quite civil as long as I remember, but the social media companies don't work that way.
