In this episode of #OnTheMedia where a senior Mastodon community member says basically that they limited things that caused virality because they thought that was one of the worst things about Twitter, and then kinda shrugs when he says something like "Of course, that means that Mastodon couldn't have supported social movements like #MeToo or #BlackLivesMatter." He also concedes that Black Twitter folk have been made to feel unwelcome, but ... eh.

“What news do you bring me from over the mountains, my little friend?”
“There is a great storm coming, you should find shelter soon. Also, I saw hunters camped in the valley.”
“Anything else?”
“Your mother wants to know if you’re eating enough. She says she worries about you.”
Imagine that you have a disabling disease or injury and that a Social Security judge is about to rule on whether you're entitled to SSDI benefits. And that the judge denies your claim because you are capable of working in one of the plentiful jobs as a nut sorter or dowel inspector? That's what's happening to thousands of people who are denied benefits because Social Security is using a job list that's 50 years out of date.
okay so if you joined between october first and yesterday it’s your turn to orient the new folks for the next three months.
godspeed.

Hi folks! Now that I am slowly starting to explore Mastodon, here is my #introduction:
I'm researching the intersections of #technology, #political #violence, and #civil #resistance, especially in #authoritarian settings. I'm currently focusing on digital authoritarianism through the case of #Uyghurs. I'm also interested in #teaching and #computational social science methods.
