Recommended. On the one hand: never easy to hear what’s wrong with us white people. One the other hand: it’s a white guy who explains it, gently.
Also: Trishes insight.

«Over the last few hours Mastodon treasure @Teri_Kanefield has been the victim of very vulgar harassment on her server law-and-politics.online.
Mastodon lets users create their own instances, but you need to block bad instances.
Fortunately, Mastodon provides support for this:

Pete @Pete: “You won’t be able to stay ahead of the garbage if you try to block domain by domain. You want an automated solution that leverages the collective moderation efforts of the Fediverse. I use FediBlockHole (https://pypi.org/project/fediblockhole/) and sync with the oliphant unified tier 2 blocklist (https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists). Set it up to run daily in cron and you’ll see an immediate improvement. Follow @fediblock who does a great job curating, de-duping and boosting #fediblock“»

Oof:
«One of the big things I’ve come to believe in my couple of decades working on internet stuff is that great product design is always holistic: Always working in relation to a whole system of interconnected parts, never concerned only with atomic decisions. And this perspective just straight-up cannot emerge from a piecemeal, GitHub-issues approach to fixing problems. This is the main reason it’s vanishingly rare to see good product design in open source.»

Interesting bit of reading.
@fediversereport 🔗 https://mastodon.social/users/fediversereport/statuses/110266474222873271 – There are quite a few tools that help you find interesting accounts to follow. I wrote about how the space has evolved, and these tools have build upon each other. Here’s an overview of some of them: https://fedifollows.fedified.com/ by @DataDrivenMD A curated list with the accounts separated by ~20 topics. Allows 1-click follow, and prioritizes accounts by activity. A good option for new users that want to get started. ⬇️ 1/X @spreadmastodon https://fediversereport.com/a-next-generation-of-follow-finders/
Well, this is cool: the foundation behind hachyderm.io.

«It is unclear why the Fox board and other executives did not know about the contents of the redacted messages until just before the trial, … Unredacted portions of the documents, including some in which Mr. Carlson spoke derisively about former President Donald J. Trump, were widely reported on in the weeks before the trial.»
Completely hands-off (mis-) management, I guess.
