Special #2: About SpaceHey's current situation
If you’ve been around on SpaceHey in the past few weeks, you probably noticed that there have been a LOT of blogs discussing SpaceHey’s current situation, and whether the main argument of these blogs is, most of the problems on that platform are attributed to its moderation.
I agree with most of what those entries say, SpaceHey isn’t moderated like it should be. There’s more than two million users on that platform, there’s only one mod that’s ‘active’, and removing clearly illegal stuff or anything that goes against SpaceHey rules isn’t done quick enough. People are getting banned for calling out what's happening too. What is even that website now? You can’t run a social media if you barely moderate it. I think the possible scenarios about what will happen to SpaceHey are three:
- The website gets sold to someone that is able to put in the time and resources to make it work
- SpaceHey will be shut down, whether it’s An or EU regulations killing it (Let’s remember An is German, which makes SpaceHey Germany-based too)
- An realizes what’s up, and actually takes matters in his own hands
There are plenty more blogs that talk better about this situation, so I’ll link a few of them down below. They do a better job than me to explain what’s up.

There's also a petition everyone reading this should at least check out:
More efficient, competent moderation for SpaceHey
Who knows what’ll happen at the end. Some accusations are too big to ignore, and knowingly letting EVEN child sexual material up should make you ashamed of yourself. This entry is just a ramble after all, and I’d be ashamed of actually calling it a proper entry. Stay safe.
