We’re going to allow some “flat earth” comments. We’re going to force some moderators to accept some “flat earth” comments
You… like this? Glad I’m not a mod, this is how places like Reddit became what they are today. Opinions should be allowed, but admins should be able to moderate blatant falsehoods.
Reddit is a living emblem of the problem this is trying to solve so I have no idea what you mean.
Mods can’t be trusted to enforce the truth. It’s far too complicated and they invariably end up enforcing their own distorted view of the world instead.
We’ve already run into problems with that where mods banned people talking about Israeli war crimes as “misinformation”. Despite it being headline news.
So they’re trying cut back on echo chambers and power tripping mods.
No they’re not. They’re trying to promote disinformation and hate speech, because they’re trying to emulate Musk, Zuckerberg, and spez, as they’ve always done.
Hopefully this’ll be the drop that makes the glass overflow and will get .world finally defederated by saner instances.

Yeah. You know the saying, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”.

Define “blatant falsehood”. See where the problem starts?
Their own example of a “differing opinion” to be discussed (i.e., promoted) instead of banned is flat earth lunacy.
The policy is intended to promote disinformation and hate speech, as was that bot they shoved on all their communities a while ago.
.world is and has always been a disinformation hub that should have been defederated by every sane instance from the get go.

So that’s obviously not a great system.
