   Good morning folks... today we're launching our new (free, browser-based) game Trust & Safety Tycoon. Please go check it out. Everyone thinks they know how trust & safety should work, but very few have actually done the job. Now's your chance! trustandsafety.fun

     @mmasnick I'd recommend you go edit your first toot, so this nice link preview can embed there too. As someone else mentioned, you have to add the protocol (I agree with you that that should be unnecessary, but that's how it is) :)

     You can read more about the game in my Techdirt blog post here, but we've been working on this game in some form for years, including conducting over 40 hours of interviews with dozens of trust & safety professionals. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/17/trust-safety-tycoon-try-your-hand-at-managing-a-social-media-trust-safety-team/

     The game puts you in charge of a trust & safety team at a rapidly scaling social media startup. You have to make a bunch of tough calls on moderation decisions, but also make decisions about policies and resource allocation, all while trying to keep the site from descending into a cesspool.

     Meanwhile, you're balancing a variety of interests, including keeping your team morale up, but also dealing with the demands of your boss, the CEO, who has their own incentives and demands. You also have to deal with the media, law enforcement, policymakers, and more.

     @mmasnick Somewhat ironic that you launched this a day after that VC billionaire published his "manifesto" indicating that the ideas of trust and safety are ENEMIES!

     @mmasnick Being on T&S sucks exactly as much as I expected, apparently.
