So, I wrote a large-ish blog piece on #mastodon yesterday: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2022/11/10/Mastodon
I think some here might enjoy it.

But this morning I added: “This piece is mostly positive on Mastodon. But in view of this twitter thread from Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, I’m very uneasy about recommending for mainstream use until such point as the community figures out how to prevent this kind of dumb shit.”

The thread: https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1590562933842800641
