But.

I don't know thing 1 about how to #admin and #moderate an instance properly.

So all of this is to ask all-a- y'all if you know of any admin or moderator training materials that emphasize racial justice and anti-racism?

It doesn't have to be Mastodon specific. Likely the concepts will transfer even if they were written for message boards or whatever.

@cferdinandi @mastodonmigration obviously, not because it's a hint at the amount of #Neonaizs, #Racists and #Christofacists that are allowed there.

  • But I don't tell you what to believe, just that you ain't the first one trying to trow shit at me if this is what you're up to...

Not to mention #BrownSky (aka. #BlueSky) was founded by #JackDorsey as a means to try to skirt #NetzDG and not #moderate content. He left when it became clear that this is not how #laws work!

But a review of her record & past statements tells a much different story: In contrast to the 4th district’s #moderate profile, #PamelaCarter is a fervently #AntiAbortion #minister who has been “blessed w/ end-time revelation” [wtf?] & who has made confusing claims about her past. And 1 notable member of her family is not on board—her famous sister, an advocate for #ReproductiveRights.

#PavelDurov’s #arrest linked to #Telegram’s alleged inability to #moderate#ChildSexCrimes’

The Washington Post · Arrest of Telegram’s Durov inflames debate over online crime and free speechBy Pranshu Verma

We need to talk about the classism of #Moderate #liberals.

Oh, the moderate liberal. There is a profound lack of empathy amongst what we would call the mainstream of the #DemocraticParty.

So, here's the thing. You want everyone to have an #EV. Well, an #ElectricVehicle requires charging. That pretty much requires a garage.

What about #solar? Well, if you are renting, you can't install solar panels. Nor does the #landlord have any incentives to ever install them.

Banning #plastic bags? A tax on poor people who traditionally got multiple uses out of every single plastic grocery bag.

Time and time again you see the #Democratic party, often along with #MiddleClass and #UpperClass #leftists and #progressives argue in favor of policies without a hint of empathy for the lived day to day reality of people who are #poor, #InnerCity or #rural.

Can you really be surprised that #Newsom decided to attack #homeless encampments? In his worldview, homelessness is a defect of the system, not an inherent product of it.

Fewer roads, fewer cars. Sure, but it sounds frightening when you have to drive to a dockyard that's two miles from a transit station.

The reason that a lot of #poor people in the US view the #Democrats as traitors is because they have traditionally _been_ class traitors.

The loudest progressive voices are usually the most privileged voices. So, they just sound like more class traitors without a moment of reflection on the actual lives of actual working people.

#Haley Voters for #Biden, a group supporting the Democratic ticket after Republican Nikki Haley dropped out of her party’s primary, announced that they were changing their name to support another woman: #HaleyVotersForHarris. The group, backing the VP & Biden’s selection, endorsed her as a “tough prosecutor” in an X post. The group also encouraged her to select a #moderate Democratic running mate, such as Govs. Josh Shapiro (Penn.), Roy Cooper (N.C.) or Andy Beshear (Ky).

#SCOTUS says #ContentModeration is #speech

Writing for the majority, Justice #Kagan said #SocialMedia sites engage in expression of their own when they curate & #moderate posts, making that activity eligible for #FirstAmendment protection. That’s true even if they allow most posts & restrict only a few categories of content. And it’s true regardless of whether they take posts down manually or use #algorithms.
