Why do open-source social platforms have much more biased moderation than proprietary commercial alternatives?
No like seriously, I get that the admins work for free but FOSS is supposed to be about freedom and making products that everyone can benefit from yet still the bias is simply hilarious sometimes and concerning usually.
For the record, I'm talking about conflicts of different opinions here, not justifying hate speech or extremism. I know there is a major difference between FOSS and Big Data in terms of treatment of troll behavior (with the latter supporting it because it generates engagement), but it is clearly being misunderstood and abused now.
I even think I'd rather recommend proprietary options to others at this point because of mental health risks. Yes, I know that some major platforms are quite heavily biased politically (with X even being accused in supporting fascism) but it's not as bad as being biased in everything imo.
Can't we finally understand that the modern trends in most cultures praise exclusiveness (often cleverly disguised as distorted inclusiveness which sounds impossible but is actually a case and it hurts people's understanding of the latter) and work against it? Or at least we could do it for the FOSS reputation.
On the positive note though, Mastodon that is probably the biggest FOSS social platform seems to be pretty good (though probably a bit too close to the Big Data in terms of troll treatment). Could it be because of the size?

OrgNote: a notes and "second brain" app for Android that is similar to emacs/Org I guess
github.com GitHub - Artawower/orgnote-client: Frontend side for second brain serviceFrontend side for second brain service . Contribute to Artawower/orgnote-client development by creating an account on GitHub.
Idk much about emacs but some people love it and probably will find it useful. Also the app seems to require a self-hosted backend so don't check it out if you're poor.

Many features are still incomplete and barebones but I think it's good to have it installed, especially for those who share and post photos all the time.
