Or put another way, why should our societies tolerate the existence of *irresponsibly* designed and operated social media platforms, that increase violence and other antisocial behavior?

So it turns out the failure of internet culture to actually have a discourse around what even moderators are supposed to be doing is a literally lethal mistake.

And this example is merely one wrinkle in the much, much larger conversation about what moderation is, and the diversity of things that it can be, and maybe should be.

A conversation that has to happen before you can have the conversation that goes, "Okay, of the things that moderation can be, which things do we think it needs to be on our platform, and what do we need to do, in the design of our platform, to bring it into existence and make it work the way we think it should?"
