A thought on “moderation bubbles”

A plurality of contentiously incompatible but independent moderation “spaces” … is the only way in which the internet is good at digesting substantial and contentious topics.

* conversations on the internet generally suck.
* On any contentious front, strong moderation can run the risk of “echo chambers”.
* For those willing to survey multiple “bubbles”, an interconnected plurality provides a de facto dialectics.

Thus federation for the win!

    Probably not original at all. But I suspect there’s something to framing it around “improving the quality of internet discourse” through the emergent dynamics of a federation … especially in comparison to monolithic big-social.

    It also repositions the internet as a broader resource to be used effectively.

    And instills independent and contentiously incompatible instances along with widely connected federation as desirable positives for social media and the internet in general.
