<div dir="ltr">That's my point. Twitter's moderation already is and has been extensively automated. The previous management did have software written, extensive amounts of bleed-ing edge text analysis software, to do that job. And it does it well.<div><br></div><div>Not that they'd want it made public. Human moderators serving as the face of the software can tailor their presentation to be more palatable to the public. Source code, inconveniently, tends to speak for itself</div><div><br></div><div>Libertarianism, unfortunately, is as intrinsically political in one direction as "censorship is awesome as long as it's the good guys doing it" is in the other. Power may flow from the barrel of a gun ultimately, but downstream of that, it flows from control of communication. It is /absolutely/ partisan, indeed even counterrevolutionary, to let everyone have their say. At least where any significant number of people can hear them. And that's where shadowbanning comes in.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 11:01 AM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6292802009391450035"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_6292802009391450035WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>…</b>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Darin Sunley via extropy-chat<br><br><u></u><u></u></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">>…Even the full-on "bluecheck Bolsheviks" should be p*ssed at the previous management if they spent any significant advertising dollars chasing an echo chamber full of 'bot accounts. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">>…[I just read that sentence back and realized how bizarrely cyberpunk-science-fiction yet completely predictable this above sentence would have seemed if you sent it back through time to this list in the mid-90s.]<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">{8^D <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for that Darin.
