Major social media platforms are using algorithms in spite of the best interests of their users, says Bruce Ableson on this episode of Community Signal. They are focused on serving you an ad at the right moment, or putting something controversial in front of you, “gaming the experience against the users to make money.” Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that this is emblematic of their approach in general, not just to curation and algorithms, but to moderation and management. These platforms are what they are not because of what they did last week or last month, but what they did 5 or 10 years ago. Plus: The biggest threat to well-managed online communities Cynical, or realistic, reasons why major platforms are the way they are Why Bruce believes subscriptions could be the future of online communities. Big Quotes Having nice community guidelines vs. executing on them: “[Facebook and Twitter] say a lot of nice things. Read the Facebook guidelines and Twitter policies. They read fine. Then they want to grow as fast as they can. They cast that aside for the sake of activity, and they get to a certain point and by that point, as we all know, it’s too far along the road to try to reverse course. They’ve taken the funding. They’ve gone public. They’ve done all these things. Now you’re at a juncture where we have this policy and it sounds fine, but we haven’t implemented it.” –@patrickokeefe On why big platforms don’t care about moderation: “The only way that [the major social media platforms] would care about [moderation] would be if it was affecting their bottom line. Because of the kind of businesses that they are. Facebook is a perfect example. Their business is driven by controversy. The more controversial things that people post and share, the more clicks they get, the more traffic they drive, and the more revenue that’s generated. It keeps people coming back, and it keeps people engaged.” –@bruceableson On changing established social norms on a platform: “You can’t go back 10 years later, with a billion plus people on a platform, and try to change the culture. You have to have that culture from the beginning.” –@bruceableson On Facebook’s constant moderation struggle: “Facebook has got a real problem right now because people hate it. It’s not that they hate Facebook, it’s like going on Facebook gives them a stomach ache. I had the same thing through the election cycle in 2016, and the two years since then. You go on Facebook, and your crazy uncle is posting stuff, and some of your friends are arguing with you about things that seem obvious to you. It gets to where it’s not fun because of that. They have a real problem because they can’t go back now. They even announced some of that this week, where they were like, ‘We’re adding more moderators, and we’re changing how we enforce people interacting with each other.’ It’s too late at this point.” –@bruceableson On the biggest threat to community management’s independence: “Facebook could be the biggest threat to [well-managed online communities] because if they trigger legislation, that gets written and targets everyone, that’s how we lose Section 230, that’s how it gets weakened, and that’s how we can no longer effectively moderate the community. We take the tool away from the people who are doing the right thing.” –@patrickokeefe On political intervention in online communities: “I just don’t need the Steve Kings of the world telling me how to manage an online community. The thing that worries me most is Ron Wyden, one of the co-authors of Section 230, sounded the alarm recently about how these platforms need to change, or it could get too far.” –@patrickokeefe On why algorithms are working against us: “[The major social media platform] algorithms are all gamed specifically to increasing advertising revenue. That’s their sole purpose in life, to get content and sponsored posts in front of you that you might click on, and get them in front of you at a time and in a place where you’re likely to click on it. They’re gaming the experience against the users to make money.” –@bruceableson About Bruce Ableson Bruce Ableson is currently director of evangelism and enablement for Adobe, after five years as head of strategy & solutions for Livefyre, acquired by Adobe in 2016.

Jordan Kretchmer is the Founder & CEO of LiveFyre, which was acquired by Adobe in 2016, where he is now a Senior Director continuing to scale the Livefyre solution within the Adobe Marketing Cloud. Before starting Livefyre, Jordan worked for a few agencies as a Creative Director. He then joined Current.TV - a media platform backed by Al Gore - and saw the coming rise of user generated content. In 2009, he left Current to start LiveFyre. As a designer, Jordan created highly realistic mockups of the product he envisioned, but it took several more months before the first version launched. Livefyre raised over $52M in funding and grew to over 150 employees by the time it was acquired by Adobe in 2016. Jordan joins us to share his story, how he got into startups, the challenges involved in building Livefyre, especially in the early days, how founders need to approach product development, what it’s now like being a part of Adobe, and much more.

Today's question comes from Todd and his kids Joshua and Jenna, who ask about blog comment platforms. Do you recommend Disqus? Smart Passive Income uses Disqus (https://disqus.com/). My friend Cliff uses Livefyre (http://web.livefyre.com/). The spam plugin I mentioned (but didn’t work well for me) is Akismet (http://akismet.com/). The spam plugin that did work for me is Growmap Anti-Spambot Plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/). Do you have a question about blogging plugins? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Today's sponsor is Freshbooks. Go to http://www.GetFreshBooks.com and enter "Ask Pat" for more information.

One of the biggest challenges for marketers and brands today is keeping track of content and engagement in real-time.

If you are blogging, you are likely wanting to create a conversation with your readers. A great way to do this is utilizing a comment system. Why you may not want comments There are some cases where you may not desire to have comments. There are some thought leaders that have opted to disable comments on their blogs. Seth Godin, for example, doesn't allow comments. He chooses to give to his readers and have them share the post on social media. He wrote a post about his reasons back in 2006. One reason you may choose not to allow comments is the potential time commitment. Especially if your readership grows, the number of comments will grow. This increases the amount you need to read and potentially respond to. This increases the amount of possible spam comments or trolls looking for a fight. Why you might want comments Despite the work involved, you want to cultivate a deeper relationship with your readers by creating a conversation. You start the conversation in the body of the post, then the readers respond to it, and hopefully the conversation with continue. You may be looking for the extra perspective that your readers may provide. You probably don't know everything about your subject, and your readers may be able to provide a different perspective that you hadn't considered. Maybe you'll be able to get ideas for future blog posts based on the comments and questions in the comment section. Managing the comments 1. Use a commenting system WordPress comes with a built-in commenting system. Some people use it and love it. Personally, I don't care for it too much. I like using a third-party plugin. Two that I have used are Livefyre and Disqus (pronounced "discuss"). I started with Livefyre several years ago, but switched to Disqus after seeing and using it on many blogs I followed. Both Livefyre and Disqus require you to sign up for an account, which is simply providing your e-mail address or utilizing one of your social media accounts. They both also have a feature that e-mails you future comments on that post, allowing you to keep up with the growing conversation. (note: as the blogger, you'll receive notifications of comments anyway, but your readers that comment will be notified as well.) One important aspect is spam filtering. Both of these systems help filter spam out. It's not fool-proof, but it's pretty good. 2. Use a spam filter One popular spam filter is Akismet, which is a plugin that comes pre-installed on WordPress. You'll need to either sign up for a Wordpress.com account or connect to it to enable Akismet. There are different price points for Akismet, both free and paid. 3. Moderation There can be debate on moderation of comments. One suggestion is to have all comments approved before they appear on the site. This is the best way to make sure spam or hurtful comments don't make it to the public. On the flip-side, it can hinder some of the interaction that can take place on the blog. Based on recommendations from some top bloggers, like Michael Hyatt in his book Platform, I think that you should make it easy for people to leave comments. If you use a system like Disqus along with Akismet, you won't have to worry much about spam. The occasional may still show up, but you can easily blacklist them on the admin dashboard. 4. Comment policy It would be wise to have a comment policy on your site. Michael Hyatt has some great resources regarding this: Do you need a comments policy? 5. Interact One of the main reasons for having comments available is so you can interact with your readers. If you write your blog post and let your readers comment, but you don't show up again, you're being rude. Imagine doing this at a dinner party: would you start a conversation with someone and then walk away while they are talking? Other helpful plugins

Platforms are used to broadcast your message to the masses. Connectors are an opportunities to make yourself available to your audience for real-time engagement. In this short episode of Funnel Club you will see 3 powerful examples of the 1+1=3 formula where co-mingling of platforms and connectors can create something more powerful than the sum of the individual sites.

Today I interview Jeremy Hicks, who works for Livefyre. We talk about the plugin you can use to increase your community interaction by making it easy for people to comment.
