20. Is the new question in the age of twitter: What is a moderated site?

Everywhere you go is filled with divisive crap. You think you are coming to a safe place for some optimism about moving forward with democratic principles, but by the very nature of online discussion and links and hyperlinks, you are outside and flailing like most of the media who got 45 elected.

Crises!

Is staying on track staying in a safe-like bubble? I'm beginning to think - YES. We all need a place to come together in common purpose.

This Democratic Underground is in danger of being undermined by unmoderated opinion that does not make the cause for equality and fairness.

I'm getting really sad and scared about the future. This was an oasis of positivity.

What's the protocol on posting tweets? or any links with hate content? [View all]	floppyboo	Mar 2019	OP
Pretty much any prominent Democrat who tweets gets vile hateful comments	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#1
I wasn't talking about tweets from prominent Democrats. Tweets from this DU community	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#4
Yes see my third paragraph above.	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#19
Context is everything...	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#2
yes - following the link. Not doing it anymore. Was too sad and mean!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#3
that's why the admins made it possible to embed tweets. Stick with those posts that do, I guess.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#5
explain please. So if there is just a link, but no text, that is ok and embedded?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#8
Here is a post of my own that includes an embedded tweet	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#11
I would be totally cool with someone posting the tweet and not the link	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#6
It is content on DU which is juried not content elsewhere.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#7
so if the content is posted to DU, then it can be juried here? nt	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#10
If what is posted breaks the TOS rules for the site, yes, but again context is everything.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#13
what about deriding LW comments against some Dems?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#14
well, it is against the rules to attack (not just criticize) but attack DEMS, but I'd try to be sure	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#15
But this is exactly the problem I'm having!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#16
Well, you could include some posts/links to recent posts in a question to 'Ask the Administrators'	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#17
I have asked a # of questions. 2 months and waiting...	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#18
If people don't remove the "mobile." from the link, they just get the link, not	tblue37	Mar 2019	#9
this makes sense to me, as I don't have a phone and have to go through some steps	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#12

You want to be in a bubble? Do you think that is possible? Do you think that is wise?	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#27
maybe, well not maybe, there should be a forum where all tweets are posted nt	msongs	Mar 2019	#21
I like that idea!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#23
Let DU members decide.	Ptah	Mar 2019	#22

great question. i hope we get an answer. k & r	Kurt V.	Apr 2019	#26
I'm not understanding... Do we not want to comment on what they post? Do we not want to...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#28
Ya - that's part of what I'm talking about	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#29
In my opinion, that's a bad rule. It's usually enforced by mob rule...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#30
thanks for the insights.	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#32
more...	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#31
