#contentmoderators — Public Fediverse posts

Ars Technica: Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”. “A recent post on the r/modnews subreddit announced plans for new restrictions on how many subreddits users can moderate. Those who currently don’t meet those restrictions will be asked to leave their post(s) or seek an exemption(s).”

The people who clean up your #TikTok feed are starting to #fightback

#Contentmoderators say they’re exposed to #graphicviolence, #psychologicaltrauma, and #unionbusting tactics, and now a larger #movement is brewing.

Oft wird die #ITBranche als verhältnismäßig privilegiert dargestellt.
Sogenannte #DatenarbeiterInnen, wie zum Beispiel #ContentModerators die in Subunternehmen in Deutschland im Auftrag von #Meta / #Facebook arbeiten, entwickeln durch die Arbeit massive #PsychischeProbleme.

Das Projekt der @data.workers.inquiry deckt in einer Podcast-Episode (deutsch+englische Untertitel) die belastenden #Arbeitsbedinungen auf.

I guess a basic question is: how many people are employed by #Bluesky? The reporting I've seen indicates it's about 20, but it's a few months old.

How many of them are #ContentModerators? Or are they farming out moderation to other firms, like #Facebook does?

Or are they just hoping users flag all the things?

Facebook just sacked, and blacklisted, all 260 content moderators at its office in Nairobi, Kenya. I've just signed the petition to call Mark Zuckerberg out and demand the sackings are reversed. Pls add your name too:

Fascinating post by @codesections that highlights the pressures facing Mastodon moderators as new users flood the platform. Folks should consider that on a decentralized/federated platform, there is huge variance in the proportion of mods/users across instances. #contentmoderation #contentmoderators

Gerade aufgrund der Bedeutung von Kontextsensibilität ist die Arbeit von #ContentModerators aber, wie typisch für Care Work, nie ganz technisierbar. Man könnte vllt. auch von sozio-medialer Gewährleistungsarbeit sprechen.
