I am reading where #black people are being mistreated on Mastodon. The instance I chose, "mindly.social," appears to be very welcoming. I have not received any adverse reactions to my posts from anyone. I suppose it depends on the individual #fedicommunity.

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

The extra labor one has to do as a Black person IS the problem.

Having to move to an instance where people understand by default IS the issue.

White people don’t have to find an instance where it’s okay to talk about their daily lives of being white.

Just realized I can’t find my own unlisted posts! So #DisabledBlackTalk will have to do until I find a solution…

Well, I joined Mastodon. Obviously. If you found value in my research on disinformation, malign influence, and weaponized spaces on Twitter, then I hope you’ll follow me here, too! And check out weaponizedspaces.substack.com, where I’ll be writing more in-depth analyses of hostile social manipulation, health comms in adversarial information environments, institutional betrayal, and more.
@ygalanter I bet Warnock will win. Almost guarantee it. With Dems in control of the Senate, the motivation to get out and vote for Herschel Walker is going to implode. The air in that balloon is deflating quickly.

The easiest way to get it is Patreon. Episodes will be posted there early, and you'll get bonus content.

There's some cool stuff coming up! I just recorded the episode on whaling, & how much of the bizarreness in today's food system comes from...the legacy of whaling. IT'S WEIRD

This parody of effective altruism and longtermism is incredibly well done. I don't know the person who wrote it but they must have been someone very close to the space to have so many specific examples even though names and such were changed.

Wrote this recently about Product Manager onboarding - i.e. when starting a new role.

There's a LOT to learn and understand and it's done poorly in most companies that I've seen.

This delays PM effectiveness and definitely impacts product teams.

Would love to hear your comments.

I realize that Black people are often asked to be twice as good in order to receive a normal amount of credit for the work they do, but do we really have to literally make Sen. Warnock win two elections every time he runs?

When Black voters in Georgia are forced to wait 11 hours to cast their ballot, Republicans insist that voter suppression is a myth.

When lines reach 90 minutes in a city that’s 90% white, ā€œpeople need to be arrested.ā€

The GOP is the party of white supremacy https://t.co/O5vyr4Yk6m
