This study examines the role of Pagar Nusa, an autonomous body of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in Indonesian traditional martial arts, in realizing a moderate society. Pagar Nusa is dedicated to exploring, developing and preserving the Nahdlatul Ulama martial art, which has deep spiritual and cultural values. This study uses a field approach, including a type of qualitative research. Data was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation to explore the programs implemented by Pagar Nusa in fostering moderation. Data analysis techniques are processed, presented, and inference or validation. Through training, competitions and seminars, Pagar Nusa aims to introduce pencak silat to the broader community and educate the younger generation about the importance of cultural heritage and ethical self-defence skills. This study emphasizes the principles of religious moderation, such as balance, justice, kindness, and wisdom, which form the basis of Pagar Nusa's activities. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of how pencak silat can be an effective instrument in promoting moderation and fighting radicalism in a multicultural society which ultimately encourages positive social change.

“…It's interesting to note that here the data was collected from a South African newspaper Mail & Guardian Online, one of the few national media establishments that permitted user comments at that time of election which might hint at a level of censored speech.

Humanity needs to deliberate effectively at scale about highly complex and contentious problems. Current online deliberation tools—such as email, chatrooms, and forums—are however plagued by levels of discussion toxicity that deeply undercut the willingness and ability of the participants to engage in thoughtful, meaningful, deliberations. This has led many organizations to either shut down their forums or invest in expensive, frequently unreliable, and ethically fraught moderation of people's contributions in their forums. This paper includes a comprehensive review on online toxicity, and describes how a structured deliberation process can substantially reduce toxicity compared to current approaches. The key underlying insight is that unstructured conversations create, especially at scale, an “attention wars” dynamic wherein people are often incented to resort to extremified language in order to get visibility for their postings. A structured deliberation process wherein people collaboratively create a compact organized collection of answers and arguments removes this underlying incentive, and results, in our evaluation, in a 50% reduction of high-toxicity posts.
