I think tiktok is doing incredibly well in this regards and in almost every social network aspect. Call me crazy but I now prefer the discussions there as HN's most of the time. I find high-quality comments (and there is still good jokes in the middle). The other day I felt upon a video about physics which had the most incredibly deep and knowlegeable comments Ive ever seen (edit: found the video, it is not as good as I remembered but still close to HN level imo). It's jaw dropping how well it works.
There is classical content moderation (the platform follows local laws) but mostly it kind of understand you so well that it put you right in the middle of like minded people. At least it feels that way.
I dont have insider hinsights on how it trully works I can only guess but the algorithm feels like a league or two above everything I have seen so far. It feels like it understand people so well that it prompted deep thought experiments on my end. Like let say I want to know someone I could simple ask "show me your tiktok". It's just a thought experiments but it feels like tiktok could tell how good of a person you are or more precisely what is your level of personal development. Namely, it could tell if youre racist, it could tell if youre a bully, a manipulator or easily manipulated, it could tell if youre smart (in the sense of high IQ), if you have fine taste, if you are a leader or a loner... And on and on.
Anyway, this is the ultimate moderation: follow the law and direct the user to like minded people.

Doesn't this build echo chambers where beliefs get more and more extreme? Good from a business perspective (nobody gets pissed off and leaves because they don't see much that they object to). But perhaps bad from a maintaining-democracy perspective?
