I’ve been hangin out on BlueSky, and my experience there has reinforced my view that social media is best when it’s heavily curated to keep all sorts of hateful, violent extremists out of it.
Our inability to keep violent, sociopathic criminals off the Internet and out of the lives of their targets will be the major governance issue of the 21st century.
One of the objections I have to the iOS Mastodon stock app is that every time I open it, it takes >60 seconds to load the timeline.
Like just now I was staring at a 2-week-old reblog for a good minute before the app became functional.
Anyways.
It's #GlobalEncryptionDay!
Time to remind everyone that a backdoor "for the good guys only" is simply not possible.
By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. 👇

And now, three months later, the situation is that they sunsetted Reddit Premium altogether and replaced it with a “tip the user, company takes a cut” system which they branded Reddit Gold.
All the finances are handled by Stripe and/or third party financial services vendors.
So All Of The Above appears to be correct, w/r/t the causes of the change.
Today, Reddit finally delivered some improvements we’ve been asking for for five years, to how it handles moderated content.
Content directed to another user (comments) which are removed by a moderator (including AutoModerator) are removed from the user’s inbox.
As of last week, posts & comments held by AutoModerator don’t have notifications sent for them.
These mean that criminal harassers, violent terrorists, and bigots are squelched.
