@ashten @natalie @lanodan @Raccoon no, moderation is the main theme here, someone is building a ML dataset for selling "policing fedi" to military contractors on MIT's network and using a buggy spider which is why anyone noticed. there is a divergence in moderation philosophies here which boils down to, do it by hand with human moderators or pay someone in silicon valley to make a robot do it for you.

in my extended experience human moderation is the only kind of fair moderation that works at scale, AI won't solve this it'll only make the problem of network wide angst worse.
