Elon Musk goes Off the Rails

[Mark_Asher]

My take is I expect almost zero moderation if Musk has to sign off on everything.

Musk: This is a software company and I, as a software genius, must do all the software personally.

Everyone else: No, you idiot, it’s a content moderation company. That’s where the value is, what users expect, what advertisers pay for.

Musk: Well, okay, this is a content moderation company, and as a content moderation genius, I must do all the content moderation personally.

[Calelari]

He really should share some of those rails with the people around him. It would be the polite thing to do.

Rest assured that you’ll still get tagged by the automated systems.
As long as they continue to work automatically anyway.

Eventually he’ll have a team of alt-right CHUDs do it for him for free. Cernovic and Posobiec or the like.
Reports were already basically useless, now they just officially go into a garbage can instead of pretending otherwise.

“widely diverse viewpoints”?

Country AND Western?

Nevermind the specific content, it’s so weird that Elon is arguing over random topics while supposedly working 20 hours a week.

It’s all part of the “do-gooder fatigue” that some bosses are experiencing, an executive headhunter told The Financial Times: These days, ”the feeling is, we need to get back to business.”

Or, to be more accurate, “it’s time mere employees get back to acting like the fucking peasants they actually are in our system.”

I work for 20 hours / week too, and find plenty of time to argue!

I certainly hope Elon gives his opinion on every possible subject. It’s what this world deserves.

To be fair, it was being badly run by people trying to make money. Not that he’s likely to run it better.

[Mark_Asher]

Is any social media moderated well? It seems like it’s nearly impossible to do well and be cost-effective.

[Ginger_Yellow]

If that’s in response to me, I wasn’t particularly talking about moderation. It wasn’t making much money compared to other social media.

On the other hand they ran it well enough to sell it to some sucker for $44 billion :)

It’s ParlerLite, for people who crave that rigthwing taste without quite so many rightwing calories!
