Sure you can. It's the easiest thing really. You can simply click or swipe away.
> Today, we’re publishing some proposals for new moderation and safety tooling.
Seems like the same old thing? You are doing the same thing that every other tech company is doing but pretending to be different? It's like all these tech companies copied and pasted their rules from a single source.
Really, the only limit is whether it's ad supported.

We did. And we would if people like you didn't try to ruin it for everyone.
Reddit became a cesspool because of censorship advocated by people like you.
What exactly are they talking about that is unsafe? Threats? Bullying? Insults? Condemnation? Moral Judgement? Unwanted advice?
> A great experience should find a balance between creating friendly spaces and over-policing each other. The impulse to protect can sometimes degrade into nitpicking. We should drive towards norms that feel natural and easy to observe.
Like what does this mean? Why haven't previous social networks tried this?
It's really not that hard, people just want to have their cake (free for all conversation) and eat it too (profitable and somehow magically making everyone nice without moderation/rules)
Some smaller Reddit communities might have it, accidentally. Mostly what Reddit has is over-policing. The reason the subscriber counts are so inflated and you see so many deleted accounts in the comments is because it's so common to get banned even if you haven't done anything objectionable.
A great experience should not primarily be a worsening spiral of wounds and resentments. It should primarily be a productive and mutually supportive exchange.
Just like in the real world, which is the model for healthy social interaction and sustainability.
Real society involves names, addresses, and credit ratings. The Social Media business is not about real society. At best, narrow interest groups will thrive.
> Social media has a reputation for being emotionally chaotic. Some days it can be fulfilling, and other days it can be a box of horrors. If we’re going to succeed in our mission of creating social media that operates as a sustainable public commons, these tools need to not just be good in theory, but actually help create a better social space than what has come before.
Without an anchor in real social trust, the above is either hopelessly naive or calculated to sound attractive to investors.
