1/7 With all the talk about moderation on mastodon, most of the discussions I’ve seen have centered on the work and experiences of paid commercial content moderators. But volunteer community moderators have done this work for a long time! I’m going to share some of my favorite papers about the experiences of community content moderators. Apologies to the authors if you’re on Mastodon and I didn’t tag you! And please share your favorites!
@allenholub Maybe those people want to be Twitter-style soldiers in an ideological war rather than investigating what they might learn from another person, so maybe avoiding them is beneficial.

Weeknotes: Implementing a write API, Mastodon distractions - Simon Willison: http://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/23/weeknotes/#atom-everything
@freemo Will do that. Too bad GitLab doesn't support authenticating against Mastodon with OAuth?
@kate Hmm, sounds like you're talking about the doc comment needing to refer to the arguments by name (if talks about them at all) instead of simply putting a comment beside them as in your example? (And having to repeat the type.)
I thought you were talking about the particular comment text in your example being redundant with the function and argument names.
@freemo Typos:
"alongside" for "along side"
"don't" for "dont"
"let's" for "lets"
"it's important" for "its important"
"It's been" for "Its been"
"it's right" for "its right"
"isn't" for "isnt"
"changed; excited, I" for "changed, excited I"
"Gab" for "GAB"
You need to correct these if you want journalists to take you seriously.
Arguable but still probably style improvements:
"swastika-wielding" for "swastika wielding"
"genocide-wanting" for "genocide wanting"
"old, and" for "old and"
"drama, and" for "drama and"
"prejudice, this" for "prejudice this"
"STEM-oriented" for "STEM oriented"
Is this useful? I can do it for the whole article if you want, but will be a lot of work, so I don't want to do it if you'll just ignore it.
@rmerriam if this were twitter surely one of us would be calling the other a Nazi by now
@oskay We all sometimes make decisions we regret on Thankgiving

HN, Reddit, Lobsters, etc. responses to my E2EE proposal have largely consisted of the following:
"Why not Matrix?" -> https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io It's badly designed
"Why not Threema?" -> https://soatok.blog/2021/11/05/threema-three-strikes-youre-out/ No forward secrecy, invisible salamanders
"Why not OMEMO?" It doesn't specify any of the group E2EE key management stuff, and I'd rather implement MLS.
And of course, doubling down a lot.

Eric Schlaepfer and @oskay 's book "Open Circuits' is a masterpiece. It makes me want to cut open every electronic device in my house to look inside. Helpfully, though, it solves the same problem it creates, because they already did this for me. My electronics are safe ... well, at least from the cutting wheel. Most of them. For now.
twitter, musk
@lauren PayPal is awful for users but not for investors. But, as I commented in the post I linked, I do not think is Musk's plan to make it pay no matter what.
@kate I never do this, for exactly the reason you say. I might comment "Traverses parent links through the tree in O($levels) time" and "0 is the same node, 1 is parent, 2 is grandparent". You are using a documentation tool that omits the parameter names from the output? Surely there is a better one, no?
@lauren My predictions, such as they are, are in https://qoto.org/@radehi/109394183706677527.

It seems that the alleged shooter of #clubq is non binary. That would make the hypothesis of hate crime even more bizzare. Anyway I hope they will cripple in jail where they belong #coloradosprings
@lauren Demise seems unlikely. Contraction, perhaps. Too early to tell.
