@siderea Thank you so much for this great thread! You've given me a lot to think about.
I have been moderating all kinds of online spaces since the early 00s. Forums, FB groups, wikis, etc etc. All of that experience will inform the construction of the moderation tools on the fediverse platform I'm building (https://join.piefed.social/).
Your thread helped me get more conscious about the bigger picture of those tools, the "social engineering" that is going on.
