#obvs ao3 Isn't gonna do that bc they are An Archive but it's genuinely insane to me to see people Missing The Point So Bad

so there's a new campaign going round hoping to Make Fandom Less Racist by... pushing for moderation on ao3. no way this could Possibly go wrong :)
#mine#first of all i'm glad ao3 is committed to its stances bc like. 'we need a moderation team that decides which works are Too Racist'#gang what the Fuck are you talking about. who the FUCK do you trust to make that call.#obvs ao3 Isn't gonna do that bc they are An Archive but it's genuinely insane to me to see people Missing The Point So Bad#'ao3 should be able to administratively hide works that don't violate the TOS' first of all No#'and should plan to regularly use this ability to hide works that are Too Harmful by x definition' HELL no.#i do agree that there may be a need for better anti-harassment rules and stuff but like.#'moderate ao3' no. make your own archive. hope this helps <3#also like. jesus christ do you KNOW how many fanworks are on there?#'just hide the racist ones' bestie WHO do u think is gonna read thru the entire corpus of work posted on ao3 so far#in order to root out the ones which are Too Racist.#'well we're gonna make it a community reporting model—' let me stop you right there.#kind of embarrassing to be talking abt racism and specifically harassment in fandom spaces and fail to acknowledge the MASSIVE tendency#of community-based reporting for content moderation being used to harass people.#that's gonna be a pass from me gang.
