Eugen RochkoThere were two notable moderation incidents on mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the past 24 hours that I would like to address. In the first, a post was wrongfully removed due to a report claiming it contained a dogwhistle, and in the second, a person was wrongfully suspended due to a report claiming it's an impersonator. Both were undone and apologies issued.

Arvind Narayanan* "Mastodon doesn't need to become popular." Sure. But like it or not, it's getting more popular, and many of the newcomers have a different culture and expectations. Eugen Rochko: "People who are arriving now have as much right to be here and bring their own culture as the ones who came before them." https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109323118267580967
Again, all I'm suggesting is choice, and I thought Mastodon is all about choice.

"In light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform,” Jonathan Vigliotti, CBS News national correspondent, said in a report about the latest chaos at the company on the “CBS Evening News” Friday.
I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

One thing that's getting a little lost in this mix, is that some of the people desperately holding on at Twitter are because they are trapped by either healthcare or visas.
That there are systemic traps that trap workers in America so they feel unable to move freely to new employers who want them and would have better pay or conditions is *nuts* and deserves a lot more attention than it gets.
David PfauI still think this site has potential long term, but honestly, I've been back to The Other Site a lot more lately, just because it's too hard to look away from a trainwreck as it's happening. Yes, yes, can't let the public square be owned by billionaires, gotta build a new model for social media, etc etc. But... there's just nothing as remotely outrageous happening over here. I feel like I have to enjoy the show while it lasts.
jptA good night to donate to your mastodon instance if you haven’t already— let’s keep these places running without billionaires and ads.
