Clay Shirky was explaining why moderation can work far better in decentralised social networks than it can in centralised social platforms almost 20 years ago. When social media was only just emerging as a medium. The fundamental reason is that moderation doesn't scale. It always works better in a Cheers-sized online community, one small enough that everybody knows your name (or at least your handle).

I think a cool #moderation feature would be to show "how many folks I know have this instance/user muted or blocked?"

#ssb had this and it was east to preemtively block shitheads when bumping accross them.

They also found that the lower court erred in barring #CISA’s interactions w/the companies, finding that its efforts to flag #content to the platforms did NOT amount to “attempts to coerce” the companies’ #moderation decisions.

#ChrisKrebs, the CISA chief fired by #Trump over his endorsement of the #2020election result, said he found the ruling “reassuring.”

“This ruling eviscerated the district court decision,” #Krebs said.

The judges wrote that the WH likely “#coerced the platforms to make their #moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages & threats of adverse #consequences.” They also found the #WhiteHouse “significantly encouraged the platforms’ decisions by commandeering their decision-making processes, both in violation of the #FirstAmendment.”

A WH spox said in a statement that the #DOJ was “reviewing” the decision and evaluating its options.

The decision was likely to be seen as victory for #conservatives who’ve long argued that #SocialMedia platforms’ #content #moderation efforts restrict their #FreeSpeech rights. But some advocates also said the ruling was an improvement over a temporary #injunction US Dist Judge Terry #Doughty issued July 4.

David Greene, an atty w/the ElectronicFrontier Foundation, said the new injunction was “a thousand times better” than what Doughty, an appointee of #Trump, had ordered originally.

Mute functionality seems to be buggy in Mastodon 4.1.4. Both Mute Conversation and Mute seem to work unreliably in both FediLab and Semaphore.

Is this a known bug? If so, is it fixed in the 4.2 release?

The ADL itself resumed #advertising on the site a few months later.

On Wednesday, a spox confirmed to Religion News Service that the ADL again halted any spending on advertising on #X as of this weekend.

#Musk may also be aggrieved by an #ADL report issued in May that found “an increase in #antisemitic content on the platform & a decrease in the #moderation of antisemitic #posts.”

Interesting: I haven't even made a post or reaction on #Facebook today and my account is limited for an hour due to a violation of the Community Guidelines.

Nothing strange visible in the activity log.

I wonder what triggered this 🤔

#Reddit's infamous #API changes have ushered in a new era for the site, and there are still questions about what this next chapter will look like. Ars Technica spoke with several former mods that Reddit booted—and one who was recently appointed by Reddit—about concerns that relying on replacement mods with limited subject matter expertise could result in the spread of dangerous misinformation. #Moderation

J'ai croisé virtuellement et lu quelques uns des posts de LA victime auto-proclamée number one sans que la chose, sa petite vie ou les harcèlements dont elle serait victime, ne m'intéresse plus que ça.

NB : Je n'ai rien à penser ou à dire d'elle sur le fond, c'est son statut de victime et son omniprésence en tant que telle qui m'est insupportable.

J'ai même posté une fois un résumé de l'une de ses propres looongues publications en lui adressant en parallèle un MP l'invitant à me dire ce qu'elle en pensait sans obtenir la moindre réponse ...

Pire, bien pire, les groupies de la sus-dite, en plus de se faire les exégètes de la pensée de cette représentante victimaire des ultra-féministes, semblent attaquer en meute quiconque a l'outrecuidance de ne serait-ce que les questionner sur telle ou telle action ou publication.

De l'autre côté de ce ring ridicule, Lord Voldemort et deux ou trois aficionados dont je ne sais là encore rien ou presque si ce n'est que ce seraient que d'affreux masculinistes.

Jeu égal ? Non tant l'activité manœuvrière et l'agressivité des premières pousse le quidam moyen, ma pomme, à aller voir du côté obscur tant leur attitude est à proprement parler insupportable.

Je n'aime pas les extrémistes, d'aucun bord.
