Shakedown Social

damonI really like to avoid bad faith actors, but this one I will engage. I have seen this account and other advocate for admins to run their instance as they see fit especially when it came to defederating Threads. The people that wanted to connect to Threads users were told they could easily migrate their accounts. Now, here comes this account against admins making decisions since its a situation they’re against. How is the Threads situation any different? Admins are the ones spending the time and money thus they get to make the decisions, those that don’t like it can migrate to another instance and or become admins of their own instance. Users can block the bridgy fed account and block domains. Truly sick of the alarmist inflammatory crap on this space. There’s plenty of spaces and opportunity to ask questions & get proper answers before making an attention-seeking post. Crap like this shows Mastodon and the Fediverse isn’t about quality, quality social content requires actual EQ. The amount of crap, nastiness, lies, etc I see posted in the space shows a significant lack of EQ. Let’s start living up to the “quality” and be a higher standard than what is on <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/bigsocial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> I would’ve liked to had a quiet personal conversation about this but seeing as you didn’t attempt to with those involved and got some sick glee out of putting targets on people backs, it was only fair I did this publicly.

damonPeople had to die for freedom & to legally be seen as equal & as humans. If you think living in digital silos & blocking out everything you disagree with will make the world a better place, I have a planet to sell you. I find the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> to be harmful to progress as people are encouraged to make homes in these siloed echo chambers. It’s also a space that discourages global search, full text search and quote posts : tools that are actively used by Black & Brown folks and activists. These spaces have long been harmful to Black and Brown folks yet the lot of you talk about how much “better, ethical and enjoyable it is. That often tells me a lot about who you all are. Many people in their first hour here have had worse experiences than in a decade plus on <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/bigsocial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> If you want this space to be some left-leaning white utopia then fine, but stop advertising it as a space for all and stop attacking spaces like <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/bluesky" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bluesky</a> that makes it easier for Black and Brown folks to have a digital experience they are comfortable with. <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/blackfedi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Blackfedi</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/blacktwitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackTwitter</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fedi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fedi</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/twittermigration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Twittermigration</a>

damonMany people don’t care about centralization, bad policy, censorship, billionaire owners etc. So what are some good reasons everyday people should leave <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/bigsocial" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> and join <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/opensocialweb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSocialWeb</a> ?

Paul RohrInstead of doing slight tweaks on the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BigSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> model, there's a very different sweet spot achievable if we focus on client-side algorithms like <a href="https://thecanadian.social/@mike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mike</a> proposed:<a href="https://thecanadian.social/@mike/110200260345599845" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thecanadian.social/@mike/110200260345599845</a>Imagine what kind of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/curation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#curation</a> decisions (4) could be made if you chose between algorithms (3) which ran in a client-side sandbox (2) that only had access to the posts in your feed (5) + your AP behaviors (6). Which feed subsets you pay attention to could remain totally private! 4/4

Paul RohrIt might help to differentiate social algorithms along various axes:1. transparency (% logic + params auditable?) 2. where they run (client v. server) 3. who tunes them (you v. site) 4. purpose (<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/curation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#curation</a> v. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/discovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#discovery</a>) 5. selectable posts (your feed v. broader) 6. behavioral cues (your AP activity v. more)For example, a classic centralized <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BigSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> site runs black-box algos it tunes (1-3) using a broad range of cues to choose from a wide variety of posts to maximize engagement (4-6). 1/4

Sir Rochard 'Dock' BunsonI hate to break it to ya'll but Big Social (FB, Insta & Twitter) as well as legacy media are down to clown with fascism. It's not just the GOP.

🤬Mr.Mark🤬Observation.Here in the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>, you are rewarded for adding value. If you are a furry gamer, offering insights to your community either on your instance that you chose in order to be in proximity with other furry gamers, or by the use of hashtags, your insights will be well-received, boosted, and engaged with.On <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BigSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> you’re rewarded for fomenting controversy. Starting fights with other furrys or denigrating other gamers is your path to engagement

🤬Mr.Mark🤬(Disclaimer: i’m not that guy!)By this dynamic that’s baked into the design, the only way that hate speech and intolerance could flourish is if the majority of instance hosts allowed or encouraged it.And that, my friends, simply ain’t gonna happen.Remember what I said about polite society?Most people want to live in a kind and welcoming society.Those who would enslave us prefer us to be at war with one another.So bye bye <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BigSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a> We’re done with the hate machine.❤️🐘🎉🥳🎵🧚🏻‍♀️🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈🎵🤓❤️

🤬Mr.Mark🤬What none of these old-school f*ckheads saw coming was a bunch of marginalized nerds designing a system that defeats their primary weapons by design. It appears that here on Mastodon, hate and intolerance aren't amplified in the same way as <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BigSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigSocial</a>, while creativity and contribution are enhanced.If we get GenZ & X and some boomers to migrate & embrace the ethos, we're living in a world where the old ways of battle that Musk & co are using will fall flat.We're winning. Bring friends!
