One of my recent missteps I tried policing an independent journalist who was promoting their substack: https://mas.to/@nberlat/109883661026480866 The broader problem that I wanted to critique was maybe valid, but my hypervigilance resulted in friendly fire when I decided to hang my argument off of Noah's reasonable self promotion. |

One of the things that I'm still acclimating to on the Fediverse is restored faith in moderation. Not that it's a panacea, but with fewer perverse incentives we can have a bit more trust that bad actors, i.e. grifters in the context of crowdfunding and mutual aid, will be dealt with.
There was related discourse several weeks back about self-promotion.
TL;DR — policing regular folks trying to get by isn't the solution to systemic problems that we might imagine it is
