It’s the main pattern online these days: how to moderate a wild or getting wilder, crowd. From any online game, to all the video-based websites to social media, the need to moderate is unprecedented.

Few and weak moderation tools allow abuse. A lot of powerful moderation tools allow abuse as well.
I fail to see how this is going to play outside of a totalitarian solution, which we should probably avoid?
This is intense. There’s so much at stake.
