[QUOTE="WALFTEAM, post: 24779, member: 3216"] The Ruqqus guy can't seem to grasp that the moderation on giant sites is essentially unsustainable to the point that it highlights just how sus the Five Websites that make up seemingly the entire net really are. You can't just make "free open-source >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk". The moderation demand is simply too great; you have to have a lot of people and you have to pay them and the money has to come from somewhere. >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk and the other Five Websites all make it work by throwing VC money (of increasingly dubious origin) at subcontractors and their vastly underpaid armies of traumatized, impoverished employees. The usual volunteer jannies that work community sites are not capable of handling the load. Mastadon has these problems too, in spades, and the only thing keeping it from totally collapsing is the fact that the instances keep defederating, turning them into weird insular forum-like communities instead of a straight copy of Global IRC Where The President Can Shitpost. Then there's the other problem with trying to create "free, open-source" versions of one of the Five Websites, which is "why the fuck would you want to". >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk is basically a really bad version of Usnet, with a horrendous interface and bad threading. At least with Usnet you could do threading however you liked with whatever client you used, and forums basically copied from those clients, but something about how basic browsing works on >redditcostanzayeahrightsmirk just pisses me off.
