Moderation
We’ve paused documenting moderator actions. Being as open & transparent as we’ve been has become very challenging as the quantity of content becomes increasingly more. Even with established processes (screenshots of all denied posts & tagging with relevant data for trending) there’s still quite a bit of manual intervention logging moderation actions due to data retention policies by Facebook.
This isn’t us giving up on this transparency, but it’s become too much for one volunteer who is already pulled in a million other directions. We’ve put the ask out for volunteers and have had little to no succes so now we’re investigating ways to generate income so we can pay for someone to take over the processes we’ve built. If we can raise funds for that, this segment will resume.
