When there's 100 daily users, you can moderate your own feed. It's a group chat. When you have 100s of thousands or millions you'll probably want some tools to help. It's not censorship to give users tools and options that help them moderate their experience. Opt-in tools are the key here, algorithm choice, mute bots, some secret third thing I'm not tech savvy enough to think of.

Agreed. We have to earn the right to solve the problems of scale but they are going to arrive quickly and it’s best be prepared!

Filter out the people who are not in your wider network. Most clients do this. It makes for a great experience

It's not much of a problem now. When 100 crypto bots reply to every post it will be.

Yeah dog.

I’ve made this argument many times before. People scream “cEnSoRsHiP!” For something that is not.
