Yoel Roth talk on moderation and federation

I just watched a recording of Yoel Roth's (@yoyoel) talk at the University of Washington that he gave a couple of weeks ago. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the challenges of social media moderation and especially the challenges for decentralized social media like Mastodon. It is about 50 minutes long and is on YouTube at this link:

I liked the fact that he is excited about Mastodon and other decentralized frameworks, and sees their emergence as an indication of a potential technological flexion point. He does not minimize the many challenges that they face and does a good job of outlining them.

if you are involved in social media technology in any way, this is a good place to start on the issues we face.

I was sorry that I could not attend in person. The UW is just up the road and is a beautiful campus.
