If you're joining Post, keep in mind that it's against their Terms of Service to criticise billionaires.

At the same time they don't care about disabled people.

@mjg59 If you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. Are any of these guys here already? Proper replication of my former social network includes the anti-links.

@shriramk @sri @jgownder I get frustrated at the difficulty of organizing thoughts into a form that would communicate them to people who didn't know them already (never mind making that organization actually interesting to read). There's so many problems, and they interlock.

@SheRa_Persists Got your answer here: https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/166/2/212/98784

An interesting factoid not studied there is safety of (mostly helmetless) bike share. Per-trip, safer than driving. We have those stats because the rentals count trips and we do a good job of counting deaths. It's something like 2/100-million trips.

"Why" = cities are safer, bike share users tend adult and credit-card-having, bike share bikes themselves are built safer -- heavy, upright, fat tires, lights always on, slow-ish.

@tw @lyda There are people willing to help you with Go(lang). May not always have the answers at hand (unless it's compilation arcana) but usually know who would know.

@[email protected] I could never get past worrying about the liability insurance, if anything happened on the bike, or if they were carrying a load and hurt someone (plenty of other people on bikes are not careful enough IMO; get the GVW up to 400+lbs and they could make some costly mistakes).

I do, however, have a trailer I am thinking of loaning out reasoning is, "it is a trailer, it is stock". One problem is it is easier to run the trailer into things, than the bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDryKoPOcc

@mekkaokereke One thing to keep in mind throughout this is that a lot of our (US) ideas of social media moderation are based on experience with for-profit US-based social media companies, not only do they want to make money, they also have default norms favoring "Free Speech", as well as having to coexist with a major political party that plays footsie with Nazis and racists.

The thing I like about blocking is that I don't have to convince anyone that there is a problem, I just do it. The thing I dislike is that effort is not easily shared, so it is not as effective as it should be. I should be able to tell the blockolator (doesn't need to be "my instance") that I trust Mekka's block choices, they work for me too. A bunch of people band together like that, it multiplies the effectiveness.
