New features will make life easier for moderators to keep online conversations healthy. FMTNews Facebook

Facebook is aiming to reduce disharmony as people with differing viewpoints come together. The social network, hammered by critics over vitriolic content in news feeds, has played up groups as enclaves where people with differing views can bond based on shared interests.More than 1.8 billion people use groups every month and there are more than 70 million administrators working to “keep conversations healthy” in the forums, according to Alison.

Automated systems at Facebook already check for posts in groups that violate the social network’s rules about what content is acceptable. Moderators can also use software to eliminate comments with links to unwanted content, slow down heated conversations, or require that people be members of the group for a certain period before being able to join conversations.

A group called Dads With Daughters is among those given early access to test the tools. The online community for fathers to share advice and resources on raising girls has more than 127,000 members.
