1 year ago@SemioticStandard There are good subreddits with over a million users. At least up to some threshold, it’s just not true that the more popular a community becomes the shittier it gets.
strategist, software engineer, entrepreneur, activist … also at @nexusofprivacy and a bunch of other places
#strategy #equity #justice #technology #policy #disinfo #privacy #algorithmicJustice, #intersectionality #activism #organizing #software #startups …
And #nobot without permission. Opt-out isn’t consent, but it’s the only real option we have here.

@[email protected] I strongly disagree. Most people have better things to do with their time than fight their way through buggy and confusing software. And as I say in the essay, if it were harder to sign up for Gab, would that make the quality higher? Of course not.
@SemioticStandard I agree that the larger a community gets the harder it is to moderate well (and the tools here are still much less advanced than Reddit, which is a big problem). But trying to deter bad actors by making it hard to sigh up doesn’t work. Spammers and other bad actors are typically more likely to make the effort than people who might well add a lot of value.
