It already has articles on Forbes and NPR among others so I’d say it’s already working.

But it’s also only a starts. The organizers have already shared plans for more dates, sometimes specific blackouts and sometimes totals like today.

Ars covers the destruction of content moderation at Twitter— an incredible act of indifference to have fired the entire team responsible for moderation in Brazil days after a close election. Nilay was right; moderation is the product. https://arstechnica.com/?p=1898729

Such a waste. They were the first and the best. 😞

@localghost Ouff, it’ll be hell to relocate 13 years of notes somewhere else 😑

Google agreed to a $391.5 million dollar settlement on Monday to end a lawsuit accusing the tech giant of tricking users with location data privacy settings that didn’t actually turn off data collection. The payout, the result of a suit brought by 40 state attorneys general, marks one of the biggest privacy settlements in history. Google also promised to make additional changes to clarify its location tracking practices next year.

@youcantoo The left one. Can’t tell you why, it just “feels better” to look at

TO JOURNALISTS: Please don't use Mastodon for private messages. Instead, use an encrypted messenger.

If you want something decentralized, I suggest XMPP or The Matrix.

Good old fashioned email also works.

There's also an instant messenger known as DeltaChat that's based on email protocols, and sends your chats to email—where they can be stored and archived. https://delta.chat/en/

@edwardchampion Not sure if it is a color blind thing, many people see colors with variance. I can see HOW you’d see it as blueish (I’d say towards gray) I’d probably say I see white, but not crisp white, or does have a grayish hue to me (but I wouldn’t say gray if you’d just asked me “what color”)

@joostbaars I don’t know the answer but if I click where mine says EN I can search for other languages. So I interpret that as “the button” at least.

@layeredstrange That is GREAT! Links is actually better!

That makes me happy since microblogging tends to be a 💩 way for me to save interesting info, while my YT, Evernote etc is already set up to do just that.

the thing about covering crypto is that in the time it takes to write one piece, two way crazier things will have happened

Can we get a ban on those robotic-yet-human voice overs happening on most SoMe platforms?!

I’m especially keen to see the ban take affect on videos of dogs! I LOVE dogs, but I now HATE voiceover #thanksbutnothanks

@rem have to add: I refuse to click to read on another site if I only get the first paragraph on Medium (or worse: LinkedIn with “link in comments” 🤢)

I don’t care if they think the algorithm punishes them: user experience and customer service makes more sense than algo-stroking 😂 (yes, you could call me grumpy)

@rem I like blog to medium specifically because you can input original source-link. I can find stuff on Medium and then opt to read more at a specific blog 🙌
