    This is just an example from another startup, with a team of 16, currently taking moderation very seriously, I’ve taken the liberty to copy it on my blog because I think it’s a great example that shows the very clear intentions at Spoutible regarding racism. Spoutible stance on moderation and racism As a responsible platform, we are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all our users.

    Longform

    I’m trying to understand…. why should I have to select my default blog when I want to publish? The selector (in the official android app) is always positioned on my test blog which I mostly never use or only to test theme changes… so if I’m distracted I might publish to my test blog..it’s.. Annoying… No issue when using the browser. Is this related to a misconfig on my side? @manton. Continue reading →

    A free licence to kill.

    At its core, the bill broadens when these companies are exempted “from liability for injury to or death of a crew resulting from spaceflight activities.”

    “This creates an even deeper level of exclusivity for the followers following them. To put it crudely, with QAnon, there are cults inside cults inside cults inside cults; it’s the ultimate cult-ception, and social media made it possible.”

    There seems to be an encoding issue with IndiePass and Micro.blog time-line / Discover tab.. I can’t really understand why some of the words, without special characters get all mangled out..

    C’est le rôle des chiens de garde du Temple, ils viennent commenter en prétendant soutenir les victimes tout en faisant le prosélytisme de leur Temple, tout en faisant office de poutre maîtresse pour soutenir l’édifice qui a articulé les dérives et les crimes tout venant dire qu’il ne faudrait pas jeter le bébé avec l’eau du bain, ce faisant, ils démontrent systématiquement avoir plus d’intérêt pour le dogme que pour le sort des victimes, qu’ils/elles prétendent “soutenir” pour la forme, pas sur le fond. twitter.com/rMdes_/st…

    Et derrière tu sens bien, le petit sous entendu à la bouddhiste, où il faudrait certe dénoncer ces crimes qui “ne sont pas du Bouddhisme” mais sans trop déranger le Temple, sans trop faire de bruit ni de poussière, parce que, ces “grands pratiquants” voient d’un très mauvais œil que la poussière de ces crimes touchent leurs grands maîtres, évidemment toujours aussi parfait, même si ils ont été les premiers à se vautrer dans le manque de discernement.

    Les chiens du Temple, c’est presque pire que ces Bouddhistes qui s’en tapent ouvertement des dérives de leur religion, pire parce que sous le décor mielleux de leur compassion de pacotille, trône la fidélité absolue à leur dogme qu’ils font passer en philosophie de vie.

    Interesting but I wish I could build this with my existing feed reader (FreshRSS,Miniflux) we need self-hosted algorithms!

    Yakread uses a recommendation algorithm/“AI” to help you pick things to read. It’s designed to make reading long-form content as effortless as scrolling Twitter, while still leaving you in control of what you read.
