i'm not saying "i miss blogs", but it used to be great to be able to moderate your comment section, something no website is brave enough to do
"would you like to hide this comment?" no i would like to purge it from the earth.
You must log in to comment.

all i wanna do is smite assholes from my replies without a whole fucking complicated report and appeals process gdi
One of the few things that Facebook gets right: you can delete other people’s comments on your own posts.
TikTok, too. In fact their comment moderation is actually surprisingly decent; you can delete any comment on your own videos, and you can set a list of shadowbanned words/phrases so that offending comments won’t appear to anyone but the original commenter.
on the other side of this are the people who complain about how self‐moderation of comments enables “unchecked misinformation”, and how the lack of visible dislikes on YouTube makes it harder to verify credibility within genres like video tutorials. and misinformation isn’t an objective metric, either — minorities criticizing scientific studies for being inaccurate due to bias, or subjects of callouts disputing the truth of receipts with potentially‐forged private‐access contents, ultimately need to be able to defend themselves in a public forum. i wish anything about moderation policies were so clear‐cut…
this is why removing "kick me" signs from people's backs is censorship
let alone living in the idea that you can merely fact check disinformation to make it go away, when twitter's replies demonstrate the opposite
