I agree on the distinction between bots and scum, and scum’s rights to free speech, but I also wonder if there is a middle ground for users to make decisions about what they want to experience. I think this is walking a line, and nothing should be automatically removed. But, what if there were content labels that gave power to each person to opt in or out of certain “topics” or sentiments or xyz. This puts the onus on each of us to step outside of our own echo chamber and walk that line ourselves, and is really about developing tools that enable us to do that. Or do that in doses, as we see fit. I think transparency and high levels of configurability, if done well, could offer something valuable. I, as a user, reserve the right not to listen just as they reserve the right to speak
