Media just will not stop using the term "culture wars." Culture wars may be disputes about spaghetti or burgers for dinner. What the media misnames and often conscously trivializes as supposed "culture wars" are, in fact, the attack on human rights, authoritarianism, and the renewed enforcement of outright discrimination. There is nothing "both sides" about this, and it is not a question of cultural heritage or personal taste.

In reply to @annmlipton.

@annmlipton (1), trans people are comparing themselves to trans people in the holocaust not to Jews, and (2), Matt Walsh can shut the fuck up and sit with the fact he's been deafeningly silent every single time one of his anti-vax pals compares themselves to the Jews on the regular and he can't seem to come up with an objection, let alone outrage.

Within the next 18 months we’re going to see an explosion of invasive #tracking and #datascraping as major advertisers and #dataanalytics companies realize just how fucked Twitter is and start looking for new hunting grounds(profit sources, us and our “content”).

We, as #MastoAdmin and #mastoMods MUST have tools to easily lock out, allow list, and control who can have access to our users that are expecting us to protect their peace and privacy. We’re going to see #spam ads from pop up domains in larger numbers, we’re going to see garbage coming into our DMs like it used to on Twitter.

The reason these things weren’t a larger issue on Twitter (until recently) was because of the infrastructure that went into managing and subduing that sort of behavior. The fediverse has none of that infrastructure, or really even tools.

If you do #MastoDev, please, we need tools. Perfect is the enemy of done. We mastoadmin need ways to share reports about problematic users and servers quickly and with notes and standardized categories. We need ways to identify and share with our peers and friends the things we are seeing and actions we are taking, and we need room for nuance and flexibility and options in our response to unknown unknowns.

It’s a big ask, but there’s decades of these kinds of tools being built for email and other distributed systems, we don’t have to start from nothing!
