Regarding moderation on social media: it is my sincere belief that blocking is morally neutral! It’s not mean or abusive. It’s not an attack. It can be, at worst, mildly rude, roughly on par with hanging up on a telemarketer.

Bluesky is healthy because it has an aggressive immune response to bigots, trolls, spammers, engagement-baiters and edgelords, pretty much like nothing ever seen before on a large social site There are a lot of people who still believe healthy social media = 'flat politeness across the board'

reading the new coates and it feels very indebted to DuBois’ 1920 memoir “Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil”

🙂
A three panel comic. In the first panel, someone is giving Bex a lecture. They say, "If you wanted to do it, you would. If you haven't done it by now, you clearly don't want it badly enough. Your own lack of willpower is the problem here."

In the second panel, a close-up shot of Bex staring with a blank smile on her face.

In the third and final panel, through smiling teeth, Bex says, "fuck you."

Yikes. NCDOT’s office in Asheville, NC just posted this photo with the following caption: “You're standing on I-40, looking down at U.S. 74.”
A flooded highway that looks like a river. Original message:

⬇️ You're standing on I-40, looking down at U.S. 74.
❗ The Blue Ridge Parkway bridge is in the distance.
⚠️ Don't go out today. It's not safe.

A lot of complaints about Bluesky amount to people admitting that they have grown so accustomed to algorithms feeding them an endless train of slop that they are completely unable to manage without it

A man says "think I'm gonna taper off the anti-depressants" He says "hey, this isn't so bad. I feel pretty go-" He then is immediately zonked out and starts pixellating. The next thing he knows he's in his underwear on the roof of a building. Others are pleading him not to jump. He asks himself "aw jeez, how did end up here?"

I mentioned on Threads that I like Bluesky and someone who had tried and abandoned it asked me why I liked it. This was my response.
A Threads reply from me. Text reads: “Moderation tools are good, I get almost no harassment/abuse there even if I dare talk about ‹gasp!> progressive politics. There are lots of really engaged people talking about science, lots of journalists, and lots of fun people just posting clever stuff. There's no default algorithm so l only see posts from people I follow (and their shares) — it's WAY less annoying than the stuff that gets algorithmically pushed to me here. It's a chronological timeline. And I get good engagement/discussion.”

What makes the death of Marcellus Williams at the hand of the state so disgusting is the reason for killing him seems to be “we can’t call the whole process into question because we had to admit we were wrong”. At that point you’re so upside-down morally that I don’t know how you get upright.

It’s a product of the environment in which it’s more important to have sources/access to people in power, or seemingly in power, even if said person has given up that power, and even if that power was never used for anything other than Very Beltway Virtue Signaling, at expense of person’s own party.

How I learned the death penalty is always immoral. 🧵 When I was writing for Law & Order, I did an episode about the death penalty. One of our tech advisors was the ME who ID’d the bodies after 9/11. He was also a cantor at his synagogue. Great guy. And very very smart.

Everything Douglas Adams says.
Douglas Adams (Author of Hitchiker's Gude To The Galaxy)
I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies

1 Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and just a natural part of the way the world works

2 Anything that is invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3 Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
