@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange if people understand folders they won't use proprietary search mechanisms that can let the OS return sponsored results

@mmasnick ah, yeah that sucks. as a small timer here I haven't faced much of that (don't face many replies at all), but yeah my inclination would be to mute early and often

@nafnlaus@fosstodon.org @stanstallman@sfba.social @mergerson@mastodon.social Eugen spoke of two mistakes made by the moderation team: the false-positive impersonation you mention and another case where someone was accused (incorrectly) of using a dog whistle. I haven't seen the details the second case. It's also not certain that @mergerson@mastodon.social is only referring to these two cases, so I'd advise seeking clarification before calling it misinformation.

@jacobschumer@esq.social @Gargron@mastodon.social but how many will want to?

@eloquence@social.coop @w3c@w3c.social and without even a request for comments?

@angiebaby@mas.to Incant help but think ad / tracker blockers could operate in a stealth mode, where they fool the pages into thinking their ad loaded / trackers are tracking but at best they get garbage from sandboxed API calls or something

@Empiricism@scicomm.xyz @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org @stanstallman@sfba.social @jdp23@indieweb.social @mergerson@mastodon.social thanks… that's a pretty big lapse of moderator judgment; I don't know what the dogwhistle is supposed to be there, seems a pretty bad faith or at least ignorant report. Proper moderation is gonna be a big question mark for the Mastodon federation. Difficult at best for well-funded monolithic corporate entities, I fear decentralization introduces more complications than mitigations.

@prachisrivas@masto.ai @Julianoe@mastodon.xyz @wiredfire@mas.to @renchap@oisaur.com @cestfleuve@mastodon.nz except where notifying you that your post is being quoted is part of the harassment

@BenAveling@mastodon.world @robinshipton@writing.exchange if it were swapped with any other race, it wouldn't be true

@mmasnick why ignore the replies here?

@timzania@denton.social @SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange subdirectories are so great I like each directory to have a subdirectory that is the parent of the current directory and then just for fun one that is the same as the current directory

@BenAveling@mastodon.world @robinshipton@writing.exchange she didn't use the word "total" in her tweet, nor did she say the rich are exclusively any of those things

@nomi @parkermolloy sounds similar to Robert Putnam's thesis in 'Bowling Alone' (which I haven't read but I recall hearing an interview with him about)

@Zotmeister @parkermolloy tbf is there anything that Olbermann *isn't* vitriolic about?

@dolmen@mamot.fr @angiebaby@mas.to not if you're using a VPN

@noahshachtman@mstdn.social cause she's coo-coo for coco puffs

@dansinker@omfg.town @sven@techisland.social @boud@framapiaf.org @caseynewton@mastodon.social yeah I would say if you're wondering whether you should open your instance up to a wider group of people, the answer is probably no
