This is a huge subject that’s probably deserving of its own thread. There may be one already, if there is I haven’t seen it outside of being touched on in other threads relating to social media. Content moderation is at the heart of what’s going on at that dumpster fire formerly known as twitter. I don’t generally participate in other social media. I don’t like Facebook and I didn’t do Twitter either in the before times. My understanding is that each site has its own rules. Kind of like here. Blatant trolling or misinformation can be modded in other places but it’s based on who the moderators are and who actually runs the site. Wiki has a good starting page for it. > **[Content moderation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_moderation)** > > On Internet websites that invite users to post comments, content moderation is the process of detecting contributions that are irrelevant, obscene, illegal, harmful, or insulting, in contrast to useful or informative contributions, frequently for censorship or suppression of opposing viewpoints.

Don’t you still have a goat to felch? > [@ColdBrew50](#): > > It’s a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife Let me tell you about the modern miracle of science: the [vasectomy](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/vasectomy/about/pac-20384580#) Better to keep your genes out of the gene pool at this point.

Not very familiar with Merle Haggard so I will bow to your superior knowledge. The vasectomy idea still stands. ---

I kindly invite you, @ColdBrew50 to get off the pile, and never return. I think you are more suited to a very different type of website, and you may find life there happier when you are surrounded by like-minded people. Here, you are just a boring bigot, one of many who eventually left, presumably to Stormfront or similar. As a classic movie might say, “Farewell, goodbye, auf Wiedersehen, goodnight!” ---

> [@scudsucker](#): > > As a classic movie might say, “Farewell, goodbye, auf Wiedersehen, goodnight!” Why don’t I have a better idea and imagine you licking a dog’s scrote. As the classic phrase goes, “Fuck off, get the fuck off my lawn, take a square one from Mike Tyson, eat some James Burton, hear some Merle Haggard, and suck my root, pinche huévon.” But your username checks out. Keep on sucking your scuds. Ain’t your business, fool. If some empty sack didn’t raise a fuss about me calling some moron cartoonist a bad word, there’d be no more of this. Also, fuck you, Randow Mundrall or whatever the fuck name you made up! I hate you and your stupid cartoon. It is too smart for me. Just piss the fuck off, troll. ---
