I will never do it. Period.
I do not consider FriendFeed items to be “mine”, and maybe that’s a fundamental difference I have with others. Once I bring it into FriendFeed, it’s fair game for anyone to comment on, like, compliment or trash. I like criticism. I invite opposing views.
That is discussion.
To moderate comments or delete threads altogether is to spit in the face of those who bothered to contribute. I value those contributions and, once you make them, I feel you should always have access to them in the future. Moderating your comments or deleting threads is basically me telling you this – “You aren’t smart enough to filter things for yourself.” I don’t feel that way.
If things get out of hand with comments, there are features available to FriendFeed users. Block certain people. Hide items you don’t like. You are very capable of filtering this information how you see fit. I certainly don’t feel like I’m in a position to do that for you. If the thread starter wants to hide what they said, you know what they can do? Delete their own comments. Not everyone else’s.
I refuse to moderate or delete. What’s your take?
