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

@timbray nice piece you've written there and the thread is certainly more than a little sobering.

it really seems like we should be rolling our sleeves up to come up with better tools at large here. have we been punting this to corporations too long?
