   As somebody who’s been an American man his whole life, let me tell you: not being hideous is one HELL of an uphill battle.

   It’s possible. It truly is. But you have to change •all• of the default settings on •everything•. And some people are vicious, absolutely vicious to you when you try to do that.

   Strong agree with this from @DoesntExist:

   @Defiance @kevinrns @Flipboard Yes. We ensure this through a tremendous amount of human and algorithmic moderation that, while not perfect, has scaled nicely over the past 14 years as we've built Flipboard. WRT publications, we manually screen domains before they are able to be recommended algorithmically. We also explicitly disallow domains that we have identified as having hate speech, nazis, racism, transphobia etc. As they say in computer science, "Garbage in, garbage out" so we actively work to proactively prevent toxic domains from ever entering our algorithms rather than trying to reactively deal with individual posts all the time which is a losing battle.

   It's not a perfect system so we also rely on user reporting and take action without equivocation when appropriate.
