Gregory's Server"As a concrete example, look at Bluesky and their moderation market where the systems are simply too large and complex to be run by ordinary users, so if you want safety you have to *rent* it."
Ahh right, sure thatttt won't cause a problem down the road for allowing centralization of bluesky.
I think the nut of the issue is that big tech companies believe they can use AI to moderate... when moderation is probably one of the hardest problems to tackle with automation.
@gwil @liaizon @lrhodes
This entire corporate vision of social media is reliant on the idea only big companies will be able to control spam and moderation with advanced AI when the opposite is more likely to be true, social media may never actually be that sustainable of a business because community spaces require actual human moderation to remain healthy and that is categorically too costly for tech companies to ever actually do and goes against their basic value system anyways.
