> I think what happened is a lot of people in our cohort figured out how to use the trolling techniques honed on forums and in flamewars on the general public... I think what screwed the pooch was a massive influx of boomers into social networks, and everything that comes from having a bunch of non-digital natives suddenly being given tools they weren't ready to handle. See, I think this is where we didn't apply lessons that we should've learned. A good moderation policy and good moderators are arguably essential to the life of a good forum, but Twitter is and always has been disastrous at it. It's a global forum thread or IRC channel where the trolls have completely free reign. |
