@futurebird Yep. One of the reasons I’ll never run a #Mastodon instance - although I’d love to. #Moderation is hard. From what admins say & write here, it is very hard..

Of course other reasons exist, such as #EU privacy laws (#GDPR / RODO), US copyright laws and.. lack of enough money for the physical part of running an instance, that is: hosting, bandwidth, etc. These’re expensive too!

I invite You to take a look at other videos from #Informed22 , that they released on #Vimeo 💙

"The online sphere and social media have allowed for the amplification and reach of conspiracy-oriented content in a way that we've never seen before," says @samuelwoolley@twitter.com about why research on online conspiracy is so important at

Thought I’d go ahead and drop a link to this piece I wrote for Knight last year on why folks who are concerned about socio-technical systems, platforms, and social media should put games on their radar: knightfoundation.org/games-mat #Informed22

#informed22 Tim Wu on how market concentration affects livelihoods: If your job depends on one single employer... Think about a nurse in a small town where hospitals consolidate. What are they're going to do? You could define lack of freedom as having no answer to that question.

Last panel of #informed22 with @pluralistic & HW's Tim Wu.
Tim Wu: What democratic institutions don't deliver, people become cinical. This is the real danger. People start wondering who is going to be the strong man coming to fix this for us. (Paraphrasing).

And the ghost of @marshallmcluhan@twitter.com on how social media create a new level of reflexivity making all of this essential to manage better and with technical tools that we shape, as they shape us (as #Informed22 seeks) is summoned here:

Another raises the issue if the challenges of studying multiple spaces and raises it as something that has to be tackled and again I’m “yes and” in that many of us have been doing this for decades 😉 #Informed22

At #Informed22, @MChrisRiley@twitter.com's comments now on democracy and delegation of user choice and communities/institutions are expanded here in @techpolicypress@twitter.com, and the earlier parts of this series (H/T @justinhendrix@twitter.com):

I appreciate one of the speakers calling for social scientists to start paying attention to platforms other than Twitter but it’s critical to note there are folks already doing this and it would have been a nice gesture to nod to them. #Informed22

The final convo today between Yoel Roth and Kara Swisher is def worth checking out if you get a chance. I think they said it'll be released on her show or podcast or whatever she does (sorry, she's not someone I follow so have no clue). #Informed22

“Are you hopeful for Twitter?” - Kara Swisher

“I haven’t had a vacation since 2017. It started with the Russia war room and then ramped up from there” - Yoel

He speaks for so many of us.

At #informed22, hosted by the Knight Foundation, with Kara Swisher & Yoel Roth, fomer head of Trust and Safety at Twitter. What is the one line that you would not cross for a boss? "I would not lie for him," said Yoel. His resignation from TW happened without drama — no severance & no NDA. (Such a difference when there's no NDA over your head and you can speak freely).

Picture shows journalist Kara Swisher and former head of Twitter' Trust & Safety team, Yoel Roth, sitting in front of each conversing.

“There is no ‘set it and forget it’ in trust and safety…”
Appreciate Roth’s point that it can’t all be automated. I truly feel investment in moderation - beyond automation - will be what makes or breaks commercialized social media. #informed22

“The last few weeks at twitter felt like a damn full of leaks. You keep plugging them and plugging them but eventually the water splashes on you”
- Yoel

I vibe with this.
