Multiple game creators describe ineffective moderation on the platform, resulting in unchecked hatred in forums and targeted campaigns of negative ‘anti-woke’ reviews
just a reminder: moderation happens with only the priority valve will give it, determined by a feedback loop involving profit, not content. they are a corp just like the rest of them.
They do moderate, threads disappear out of thin air, locked due to specific reasons. I’ve reported many, from minor insults to racism, and many of the times they take action. And I considered Steam more heavily moderated than both Lemmy and Reddit, unless you are in a beleaguered community.
The review section, though, is a dev problem; it can be a bit of a wildland, and that is true.
Every platform of Steam’s size or bigger has mostly replaced human moderation with AI at this point because it’s the only way to moderate at that scale.
And I’d rather a few anti-woke weirdos get to post their by default hidden curator reviews than have to start saying “unalive” in Steam forums.
Moderate, like every other half-decent platform does.
