Perhaps RIU needs to adjust to the new global digital reality, there is dangerous disinformation posted on this platform regularly. Anti vaccine propaganda and memes of Russian origin, though most of the tolls spewing it appear to be homegrown. Mask and vaccine disinformation are now being labeled or removed from major social media platforms in these extraordinary times.
Perhaps rename the politics section "social warfare"! The age of politics in American is in the past, liberal democrats can't play politics with fascism, they are either at you knees or at your throats. That's not an extreme view either, considering the last American election and the credible media reporting I've seen. Some of the right wing trolls have descended into madness.
I understand what you are saying but those platforms are multi million dollar platforms who have endless amounts of technology available to them and AI systems that filter that shit,
We have 3 staff members who do all the moderation by hand.
You have to realize we are a much smaller website,We are not facebook, we dont make millions of dollars and have thousands of employees at our access to do such a thing
Were an old school forum. Our mods have to sleep, no matter how many we ask to volunteer their time they are still volunteers its still all manual and it isnt justthe front page of the forum thatgets worked on its the back end, its everything
We really try but majority of our users refuse to help us byusing the report feature because its "snitching" but they want us to do something about it.
We sit here forhours on end reading until our eyes hurt modding. We cant get everything, we dont have an AI system,
You have to realize you cant put us against facebook and other social medias and say well do it like this we just dont havethe resources
