So, I found this quote somewhere on the internet about Fediverse server moderation:
> I can't believe I have to write this, but if you have no moderating experience—like, not even in a YouTube video's comments section—I would strongly suggest not starting a Fediverse server at all until you have help.

"And I also understand that we are the generation who has to go through this part of it. We’re the ones born in time to be forced to make the rules and defend them.

To agitate and legislate and be constantly vigilant."

I no longer assume that everyone online is familiar with old school net culture. One of its old sayings is; "don't feed the trolls". The point being that most people being flippant ass-hats online do it for the attention, so if they don't get any, it's no fun for them, and they go away.
This!
"Networked technology that mediates so much of our lives is social engineering — which is to say that deciding how it works is politics."

The Internet is allowing us to build a richer, more complex society but the way in which we Internet today is failing to support the governance systems that a more complex world requires. I take a look at why these issues are related, try to develop an intuition for a way forward, and point at the emerging field that is coming together to build that future.
Memes are fields - The synch of minds is weird https://goodinternet.substack.com/p/memes-are-fields
In which I write about how the classic biological gene-analogy by Richard Dawkins seems wrong and memes are more akin to force fields created by interbrain synchrony, how this is related to entropy and how this creates a waveform evolving towards Teilhard De Chardins Noosphere.
End of year craziness because why not.
