Shakedown Social

shellsharksA writeup I did last year after one of Reddit's more severe enshittification episodes…<a href="https://shellsharks.com/threadiversal-travel" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://shellsharks.com/threadiversal-travel</a>Since then, I have not used Reddit and I continue to invest time and energy into the <a href="https://shellsharks.social/tags/threadiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#threadiverse</a>, namely <a href="https://shellsharks.social/tags/Lemmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a> (though I am open to trying out more platforms as they mature).Come check out the discussions at infosec.pub!

shellsharksFor everyone creating communities (<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Lemmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a> instances) or "magazines" on <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Kbin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kbin</a> instances be mindful of the very real deficiencies that exist related to moderation, as <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@thisismissem</a> writes about here (<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531</a>). We're all both excited about the promise the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> brings and equally pissed at what is going on over on Reddit but there is real *danger* in growing communities using software that might not be ready for it. Read Emelia's post to gain more understanding of the potential pitfalls (and guidance around moderation). One thing I'll add is that botching this migration due to immature software could turn people off from the idea of Reddit-esque fediverse communities indefinitely.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@jerry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jerry</a> I'm certainly no expert on community creation/management much less moderating mid-large size communities but there are certainly others within the .infosec sphere (👀 <a href="https://cybersecurity.theater/@tweedge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@tweedge</a>) who could weigh in. Maybe it would be helpful to post a guide of some kind (not saying *you* need to create it but you could help market it) which fairly warns <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fedia</a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosecpub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#infosecpub</a> channel admins that moderation tools are lackluster and to tread carefully as they scale out. Happy to volunteer my own time/perspectives on adding something to a larger wiki for your various Fediversal properties as needed!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/redditMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redditMigration</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FediverseMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediverseMigration</a>
