@TechConnectify I guess I'm confused about the comparison to twitter.

However you feel about "your job should not be a job", but that was hardly moderatable harassment on twitter, right?

How would you deal with harrassment on Twitter other than blocking and muting? Or are you saying that you just tend to get more 'less nice' comments here compared twitter because social/cultural reasons?

Technology Connections

@joshhunt Either they automatically turned on the quality filter as I grew (because I never did it myself) or they have some special sauce for bigger accounts because the fact is /I did not see this sort of stuff at all/

It would be hidden by the filter. Or, if it somehow made it through, it usually wouldn't become a notification and feedback from other users ("this is a bad take" / getting ratioed) would throw it way down to the bottom of the replies where it stopped getting engagement.

@joshhunt Fundamentally there is a disconnect between the needs of someone like myself (who has a large audience and is likely to attract all sorts of people) and a smaller user who may be subject to real harassment and harm.

But some sort of filter has to get implemented for larger accounts to have a good time here - or at the very least, there need to be REAL signals that others can put out to have a negative (and positive!) reinforcement mechanism.

That social part just doesn't exist here.
