That’s so stupid. You’re not allowed if you’re too dumb to be able to very clearly delineate from anti semitism and being against the state of Israel. Unless you’re not…Mike. The Jedi.

I think Reddit does a relatively good job when it comes to moderation. Probably because they keep things local; even if a subreddit becomes problematic, it can stay in that group and not spread and disrupt to others. Compartmentalizing issues keeps things relatively clean. Global enforcement is problematic because it’s more of a cultural problem rather than a technical problem. But, you can keep things relatively manageable with community enforced moderation. One might say its not perfect, but I would argue that, like liberal democracies and republics, they’re never perfect but they get the job done. And that’s enough. Perfection is a fool’s errand.
Edit: global enforcement on a platform may have a role to play when it seems a local group is clearly trying to antagonize and harm other groups. I believe that’s why Reddit took down some subreddits eventually.

The solution is to pair tech with humans. Create clear rules that an AI can search for and use human moderators to confirm or deny the AI’s decisions. The moderator’s power comes from a democratic reputation graph where they gain and lose power based on the perceived fairness of their judgments by all users. and others are using GPT-3 to tackle the AI side, now we just need good governance models for the moderator side.
