> You can "choose moderation" by not viewing Twitter accounts and conversations you don't care about and muting words you dislike.

In that case however I would also like the possibility to turn off any algorithms that recommend stuff to me. I want to see only things i put on my whitelist, otherwise i will have to constantly moderate and it will take up loads of my time.

As long as that doesn't happen I am more than happy to let others do the moderation based on some frameworks that I agreed on (ToS in Twitters case).



If you think a ToS can capture every bigotry, propaganda technique, and misinformation campaign in perpetuity, I am impressed and hope for success in installing it on every centralized internet platform. Otherwise we would need individual humans at a corporation owned by rich men interpreting a vague set of principles about what "hate" and "misinfo" means, which is a different discussion...

But I'm not sure how it could work without having users agree to a new ToS frequently, due to things like the Euphemism Treadmill: https://www.cambridgeblog.org/2020/08/ableist-language-and-t...
