-Where mods exist, mod count relative to content volume varies widely across langs

Using my first post here to proudly share impressive work led by @manueltonneau.bsky.social! Based on a representative TwitterDay dataset, this study has important implications for balancing costs and necessity of hate speech moderation at scale. Do check out the thread, the paper & HateDay:
Can we detect #hatespeech at scale on social media?
To answer this, we introduce 🤬HateDay🗓️, a global hate speech dataset representative of a day on Twitter.
The answer: not really! Detection perf is low and overestimated by traditional eval methods
