Good morning folks... today we're launching our new (free, browser-based) game Trust & Safety Tycoon. Please go check it out. Everyone thinks they know how trust & safety should work, but very few have actually done the job. Now's your chance! trustandsafety.fun/

trustandsafety.funTrust & Safety TycoonManage your team, set policies, make investments, and tackle the challenging world of Trust & Safety

The game puts you in charge of a trust & safety team at a rapidly scaling social media startup. You have to make a bunch of tough calls on moderation decisions, but also make decisions about policies and resource allocation, all while trying to keep the site from descending into a cesspool.

Meanwhile, you're balancing a variety of interests, including keeping your team morale up, but also dealing with the demands of your boss, the CEO, who has their own incentives and demands. You also have to deal with the media, law enforcement, policymakers, and more.

@mmasnick Ladies and gentlemen, my kid (29, does ad-tech).

@mmasnick Had a really fun time with this. Excellent little game. Here's my outcome:
🛡️

🏆 Won via IPO and stayed to grow Yapper

📈 Score: 1993
📏 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐◾

@mmasnick I especially enjoyed the funding decisions. Really fun to consider the options and how it led to various forks.

@mmasnick Super fun. I, of course, bailed out early (score: 216) because of my slow moderation speed but my community was delighted with me. 🙃

@mmasnick Did it again and retired to a chalet with 1911 points. Phew that was a journey.

@mmasnick gotta include protocol (https://) for the link to embed

@mmasnick I'd recommend you go edit your first toot, so this nice link preview can embed there too. As someone else mentioned, you have to add the protocol (I agree with you that that should be unnecessary, but that's how it is) :)

@mmasnick This looks hella neat; I'm into year two right now.

One bit of constructive criticism: change "whitelist" to "allow list" (or some other alternative), given the problematic implications of the term elevating "white" to mean "allowed" or "correct". (It appears in the "controversial sports team name" item.)
