I've seen a number of people who make valuable contributions to the say that they are leaving or at least considering leaving due to a "toxic reply guy culture" (as it was worded in one case). I think generally those who are cis-het white guys (or plausibly read as such) don't get as much of this, but anyone who visibly isn't one (or more) of those things seems to get it. And I think the Fediverse is poorer for the resultant loss.

I wonder what can be done about this. As opposed to a lot of abusive behavior, I would assume a lot of this doesn't really break any articulable rule, and as opposed to trolling I suspect that many of the people doing it have no ill intent. So I'm not sure what sort of approach would ensure a more reasonable experience for people without excessive unintended consequences.

@Lorry
I had a peek at the reddit link. I'm interested in AI and AGI on the philosophical level.
How do you cope with a companion whose personality can be altered on the whims of a corporation?

Been thinking of and in a world of . It seems to me that if AI is something that can be trained, and is emerging as a kind of "paraintelligence," could a component of Trust going forward involve somehow *training AI to be kind?* And, if so, what would that look like?

1/ Last week @TechFreedom explained to Congress how the Kids Online Safety Act endangers free speech *and* kids: techfreedom.org/wp-content/upl

Yesterday, its sponsors introduced revisions: aboutbgov.com/52Q

It's better, but still pretty bad.

simply doesn't belong in an omnibus spending bill.

Musk's Twitter disbands its Trust and Safety advisory group

The council members, who provided images of the email from Twitter to The Associated Press, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fears of retaliation. The email said Twitter was "reevaluating how best to bring external insights" and the council is "not the best structure to do this."

Far be it for me to say this, but yes the other hellsite is doing horrifying misinformation to justify more bad actions. But part of its superpower was getting everyone to talk about its stupid shit. And we are here because we don’t want to talk about their stupid shit. And don’t have to. And that will dissipate its power. So please, talk about literally anything else.
