   @bkeegan Nextdoor is a frontier of information manipulation via motivated (and in some cases inauthentic and coordinated) moderation. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/05/nextdoor-local-election-misinformation-volunteer-moderation/674152/

     Fascinating example of politically-motivated content moderation on NextDoor.

     Local anti-homelessness ballot measure is endorsed by Boulder County GOP.

     I post a link about it—referencing the official GOP announcement—and predictable NextDoor conversation ensues.

     Post gets then gets reported by the pearl-clutching brigade and taken down for *misinformation* even though the link to the official announcement is in my post. 🤡

     Matthew Lyon repeated this.
