Show HN: Reveddit.com: Improving online discourse with transparent moderation
Very interesting and eye-opening talk! I checked one of my old Reddit usernames (I don&#x27;t really use Reddit anymore) and was gobsmacked at how many (I thought were relatively innocuous) comments that were shadow-banned. And then others in the same subreddit that were nearly identical passed right through!<p>Also some of the links on your slide-deck are just as eye-popping (eg. the public-private discourse document with crosstabs). Lots of good info in there.<p>Good work!<p>However, I am not sure what to do with this information except perhaps sharing it with some people I know own Reddit (as per your FAQ), but then that makes me think &quot;then what&quot;? What happens then? Getting Reveddit exposure is good, but there does not seem to be a clear stated strategy of how any of that traction will be practically used.<p>Also, on slide #60 of your presentation you have a slide title of &quot;There is no evidence that censorship doesn&#x27;t change minds.&quot; I don&#x27;t know if I am just having a slow brain day, but I was not sure how to interpret this in the context of what you were saying and the bullet-points on the slide itself. It this just meant to be a more non-committal version of &quot;Censorship changes minds&quot;?
