All that matters for decisions like this is the quantity of customers (actual or potential).
In that context it makes sense.
I read another comment saying that the Trump tweet thing blew up in their face on Mastodon and they don't have any moderation over who posts what. Unlike Reddit.
Remember when Reddit explicitly banned companies from moderating their own subreddits? The original point was that the subs should be for the community, but having a corporate moderator would only serve to suppress public dissent. Reddit eventually pulled a hard 180, and now it’s the expectation that a company moderates their sub.
For instance, if a sub was created for a specific TV show, the TV network wasn’t allowed to moderate it. They could have official accounts, but they wouldn’t be mods. Because if fans didn’t like something in a show, they had the ability to voice those opinions. But now there’s a heavy incentive for corporate mods to keep the company image clean, by scrubbing criticism.
Yeah. But hey, Reddit became a profit making machine run by a psychopath. Like every fucking tech company in the U.S. So of course they switched to allow for more income.
that's a good point, too. they would have that moderation control over an official lemmy community, too. But obviously not on any unofficial communities.
