personally, I think this is a reasonable crashout… Dude has a point. :blob_hai:
Screenshot: everyone Member we need to have a serious talk. Some of you members are saying [that] you like Petra and Maili and younger characters and then say “You’re 14, 13”. That’s still not ok. No one wants to hear your weird jokes about how you would fuck Petra or take her as your wife and for all I know half [of] y’all could be 36 and lying about your age to get away with it. This is enough! Stop!
Some of you might be joking, but [the] others, [I] don’t really know, and some don’t even know your age and will call you pedophiles.
All platforms are notorious for that. Moderation is expensive, and consistent free user moderation is extremely hit or miss, mostly miss.
Unless you have enough admins dedicated to moderating every community regularly, like weekly at a bare minimum, shit will get out of hand in the places they don’t visit.
For places the size of Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy, YouTube, etc. that’s just not feasible without an army of paid moderators. User submitted reports are only useful if the users aren’t partaking, and that’s the first tier of nearly every online moderation system because few companies could even consider staffing a moderation team even remotely large enough to begin to tackle that problem.
