I have a very funny new example of the nonsense "I don't like this post" time-wasting moderation reports I discussed in this longpost: https://infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/112592561469508546
One of my moderator friends just got a report that said, in effect, "this user claims to be an anarchist but they support participating in elections. I am reporting them to the social media police for being a fake anarchist, please ban them."
@0xabad1dea The amount of "This person is WRONG on the Internet! They must be punished!" I see is staggering.
Like, if it bothers you that much you can block them? Why make your problem someone else's problem when you can completely solve it yourself? Airgh.
Where would you put the boundary between "this person is wrong on the Internet" and "this person is persisting in causing others to be misled in a harmful way"?
@robryk @zorinlynx IMO that's completely contextual and "I don't agree with this stranger's opinions on the finer points of anarchist praxis" comes absolutely nowhere near "internet police! annihilate this post from the surface of the internet!" territory
I agree this is an example obviously on one side of that line. What I'm curious about is if any of y'all have a litmus test for which side of that line things close to the boundary are on.
