@dansinker I'm posting about food in reaction (but not reply) to this

Had amazing poke at Maguro Brothers in Honolulu in September. I have been sadly working my way through different Bay Area poke places trying to find something that's even a shadow of how good it was.

To no avail. 🍣😞

@MattHodges Heh. I mean, i was describing the discovery process.

But also there's tons of things written about being lonely in new york around a gigantic pile of people. It's about relevance to the you / the stuff you care about too.

But that's also imputing motive to your contact.

@dalias @MattHodges Not as far as i can see?

@MattHodges There really is a discovery/onboarding problem here tho.

Like there isn't a way for people to stumble into the various different scraping services that'll help you find your twitter community here, and the local feed is -very- noisy on Mastodon.social.

It'd be like getting dropped off at times square w/ no context and being told to go find what neighborhood your friends are in. Oh and then someone tells you that you could move to another city for a better experience.

I'm hosting a webinar about trust and safety on the fediverse this Thursday, Dec 8th at 12pm Eastern. It's an introduction to the state of content moderation and community safety here.

I hope it will be useful to people at civil society organizations who have perhaps heard about Mastodon and the fediverse and would like to know more about where there are gaps in funding and services, and places where orgs could potentially help augment what's already happening.

Tried to replicate a disturbing chat GPT result and got an even more disturbing output than the one I had seen ...
