   @sarahgilbert "Marginalized people" is just a euphemism for disgusting dysgenic abominations who only live to ruin everything for everyone else who might actually be healthy and beautiful.

     4/7 Here are two amazing papers by Bryan Dosono and Bryan Semaan who interviewed moderators of AAPI subreddits, discussing the emotional labour of moderation and the strategies they use to manage it, and how mods of these subs engage in decolonization practices on Reddit. These papers are especially timely because they show the extra work and extra risks involved in creating spaces for people who are marginalized, by people who are marginalized.

     2/7 I’m going to start with one of my favorite papers, “Metaphors in moderation” in which Joseph Seering, Geoff Kauffman, and @stevie interviewed community mods across platforms and compiled metaphors they used to describe their work. My favorite is moderation as gardening (see my header image!) in which moderation is a form of caregiving that allows communities to grow

     3/7 In “The civic labor of volunteer moderators online” @natematias outlines the complexity of moderation work as mods navigate competing forces of users, other mods, and the platform itself. He notes that moderation isn’t just about mod actions (like removing comments or banning users) but also involves negotiating their role in a system that relies on their labour.

     1/7 With all the talk about moderation on mastodon, most of the discussions I’ve seen have centered on the work and experiences of paid commercial content moderators. But volunteer community moderators have done this work for a long time! I’m going to share some of my favorite papers about the experiences of community content moderators. Apologies to the authors if you’re on Mastodon and I didn’t tag you! And please share your favorites!
