It's obvious that dang passionately wishes for people from all backgrounds to feel welcome, but that wish exists in tension with the lenient moderation philosophy.
(For example, whether women are biologically predisposed to be less ambitious than men is considered fair game on HN and gets debated ad nauseam.) However, assuming good faith on the part of forum participants means that outgroups end up having to tolerate a lot of unpleasantness, so long as that unpleasantness is couched civilly enough and could possibly be interpreted as well meaning. My sense is that Musk earnestly wants to do something similar at Twitter, and that he's motivated by a kindred idealism. I think dang walks the walk and applies that principle himself during moderation, to a rather amazing degree considering how long he's been at it and the challenges of the job. "Assume good faith" is one of the HN Guidelines. I guess that to have a good opinion about moderation you must work as a moderator for some time. You can’t have rules for everything and you will ALWAYS have people whose behavior match the 'rules' but are still problematic. Moderation is a hard issue, "consistent moderation" is not achievable because the hardest decisions are made based on the personal feeling of the moderators (that’s also why FB has tons of humans moderators: you can’t just automate it beside obvious spam content). Bans are inconsistently applied for reasons that are often hard to figure out. > Transparent and consistent moderation policies. Blue Check symbols are also a lot useful to distinguish real brand accounts from fake ones. I may be interested to know that and are both real persons but I’d also want to know that is the famous one while the other is just an homonyme. Optional verification check marks for anyone who wants them.
