To be honest, I would not disagree with that. Very 'the only winning move is not to play'.
To be honest, and maybe this will be panned, but the real answer is for people to grow thicker skin and stop putting one's feelings on a pedestal above all.

I gave up after the 3rd tweet in the thread. I can't understand why Twitter threads are a thing.
my guess is that people can like () individual posts. The positive of that is: a) possibility to like () just one post, or 2, 3… depending of who good the thread is b) the fine granular way to like () gives the algorithm way better possibilities to whom to show a thread and even better, to first show just one intereting post out of that thread (also people can mores easily quote or retweet individual parts of a threa…

Not really, even the it still does recommended tweets and I don’t want to see retweets or likes and you have to turn that off per person.
Yes really: you can get this experience with Twitter: https://lee-phillips.org/howtotwitter/
Every single social media platform that has ever existed makes the same fundamental mistake. They believe that they just have to remove or block the bad actors and bad content and that will make the platform good. The reality is everyone , myself included, can be and will be a bad actor. How do you build and run a "social media" product when the very act of letting anyone respond to anyone with anything is itself the…

Doesn't Twitter give the option of a whitelist (Just who you follow + their retweets) already?

> Iʻm heartened to know that @DavidSacks is involved.
I'm not. I doubt he is there because Twitter is like Zenefits, it's because his preoccupation over the last few years has been politics as part of the "New Right" Thiel, Master, Vance etc. running fund raisers for DeSantis and endorsing Musk's pro-Russian nonsense on Ukraine.

Key word here: ex (joking)... but seriously I'm absolutely baffled why someone would look to a former reddit exec for advice on moderation. I guess you could say that they have experience, having made all the mistakes, and figured it out through trial and error! This seems to be his angle. What I got from the whole reddit saga is how horrible the decision making was, and won't be looking to them for sage advice. Thes…
Just add a dislike button and put controversial tweets collapsed at the bottom. It works well for reddit. Let the community moderate themselves.
Reddit tried to just let communities moderate themselves. It resulted in rampant child pornography, doxxing, death threats, gory violence etc. It epitomised the worst of humanity. Now the Reddit admins keep a watch on moderators and if their subreddits do not meet site-wide standards they are replaced.
This CEO did the same thread 6 months ago and was blasted off the internet. You can see his thread here: https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1514938507407421440 edit/ Guess it is working now? The most important post in his older thread: https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1514939100444311560 He never ever justifies this point. The world absolutely has not changed in the context of censorship. Censorship apologetics notwi…
HN in general is convinced that social media is censoring right ideas because it skews counterculture and “grey tribe” and there have been a lot of high profile groups who claim right views while doing the most vile depraved shit like actively trying to harass people into suicide and celebrating it or directing massive internet mobs at largely defenseless not public figures for clout.
