Maybe part of what makes TikTok so powerful, how it categorizes videos in an addicting way, is that it turns the lurkers into contributors/voters by using watch time as a proxy for voting.

Oops, didn’t mean to imply that the community wasn’t moderated or that this post in particular was worthy of a ban. The post was slightly negative so it made me think about moderation. Thanks for your work!

Meta discussion - the existence of this post makes the wonder what moderation tools on lemmy are like? And if there’s systems in place to deal with unwanted content.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/04-moderation.html

1. Users report posts & comments
2. Communities have mods
3. Instances have admins
4. Instances that disagree on how moderation should be done can block the other

Edit: Changed “unmoderated communities” to “unwanted content” to clarify my intent to discuss moderation in general
