    yup

    but a-paid-moderator-in-every-forum is also too expensive

    so, I foresee lots of attempts at innovation in automoderation

    Then the way they do business is destined for failure, and their reputation is going to continue to be awful until they find solutions to clean their shit up.

    Auto moderation might be something useful, but isn't it experimental and it might not be as qualified to judge things as flesh and blood people are.

    i mean, he is not a good person, thats for sure.

    to the point where I wouldn't defend him if someone punched him right in the face.

    To the point where I wouldn't chastise someone for wishing harm on him.

    You have to be pretty far gone for that.

    A good professional-grade software for digital art that friends recommended is on sale.

    half off!

    They told me that registering for the newsletter was a good idea because they occasionally have sales, but i didn't expect to see one so quickly.

    I mean it's less they've 'bungled their moderation', rather with the volume of content produced it's not actually viable to meaningfully moderate anything except for the most extreme and unambiguous content.

    That they're not going to burn money failing to do more then that doesn't make them bad business people.

    It simply means the market doesn't actually care that much about the occasional people getting their feelings trampled, certainly not to the point it would be worth increasing staffing costs by literally thousands or tens of thousands of percents.

    fb's got money to burn

    From a financial standpoint, sure - except this makes them exactly the same as any other soulless corporations who's will to sacrifice letting their customers suffer for the almighty dollar. Ethically they're failures. The harm that they're unable or unwilling to shield their customers from is on their heads, they don't get to wave off the human side when its convenient to their bank account.

    Zucker's philosophical experiment as it is is a monumental failure.

    It's also good ammunition for anyone who wants to hurt him if he really wants to get into politics, as well.

    Except the vast majority of Facebook users don't actually care about how Facebook functions because it's Facebook

    Like I guarantee you if you try and complain about Facebooks's moderation to it's average user their response is going to be "what's moderation?" or possibly "so... you think I should drink less?"

    I wonder how much of that is by design to get customers, or Zucker's apathetic idiocy, and/or that management let this toxic culture manifest over time.

    I also wonder how much money they're leaving on the table if it had an actual good reputation, as well.

    This doesn't excuse how badly Zucker or FB have failed ethically either.

    edit: I'm curious what's going on behind the scenes of FB, too. Is it like Uber or are they just extremely apathetic?

    Norovirus infection is characterized by nausea, vomiting ... and in some cases, loss of taste.

    have you been reading any fantasy novels lately EM

    Literally had this thought earlier tonight when reading about it

    Quick: Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?

    Yeah, it's not threatening or intimidating it reads more like a bad joke and one that's not funny. That, and I might buy it being a parody via Poe's Law.

    I love offensive jokes amongst friends that can laugh from the right perspective, but I feel terrible actually offending anyone.

    Except people that attack my friends of course. Then I hope their tears burn their wounds.

    He tried to kick it, missed and the shoe flew up in the air and vanished somewhere behind it

    He fell down in the process and banged his head quite badly on the pavement

    I can't remember what he was angry about

    I don't even like offending someone if they deserve it. I have a tendency for "going for the jugular" in verbal spars and spats and a little piece of me dies every time because you can't unsay things.

    That said, I don't really aspire to never offend anyone ever because that's boring and impractical and I don't really agree with that either, despite my self-remonstrating psyche. I just try to keep it in check and remember the weight of my words.

    There's a huge difference to me in arguing with a friend or colleague than engaging a stranger that has attacked me or mine. The latter gets no mercy or remorse.
