Lawful Good: language redirect via Accept-Language. Chaotic Good: language redirect via IP address. True neutral: website only has one language. Lawful Evil: block foreign IP addresses. Chaotic Evil: website is unusable for foreign and multilingual users, as their requests are redirected to a useless demo script, initially coded by the programmer for testing, and later everynyan just forgot about it.

Elon Admits His Content Moderation Council Was Always A Sham To Keep Advertisers On The Site by Mike MasnickMike Masnick

Soon after Musk took over Twitter, he announced that no big content moderation changes would occur until after he had convened a “content moderation council” made up of “diverse” perspectives. Never mind that Twitter had actually done that years earlier. Musk will reinvent anything and take credit for it if he can. Of course, it […]

It’s Not The Decision, But The Process: Musk & The Trump Decision by Mike MasnickMike Masnick

Going to put this up front, because I expect a bunch of people to not read and assume something very incorrect: I think there are valid arguments (even pretty strong ones) for why it makes sense for social media platforms to allow Donald Trump on them (there are also valid arguments against it). But, conducting […]

I felt pretty cruddy yesterday, but doing much better today. Lazing around with some books because frankly it's cold outside and I don't want to go out in it. I have both Twitter archives in hand so it's time to take Twitter off my phone I think. I'm leaving the accounts up for now but locking them. And I'm loving the image descriptions.

To all mastodon admins:

Hi! I’m Evan Phoenix, the primary author of puma, the ruby webserver that powers mastodon!

Please reply or DM me if you need tuning help! I’ve got no officiation with the mastodon, just want to see you succeed!

(Quick Tip: set WEB_CONCURRENCY to core count * 1.5 and then tune MAX_THREADS. High thread values will see diminishing returns!)

I’m feeling concerned that many of us have recently joined #Mastodon and that the long term visually impaired community are now inundated with beautiful photos with no #alttext to describe the photo. Only about 1 in 5 Toots describe photos on my timeline. We all need to curb our enthusiasm to share undescribed photos and embrace our descriptive writing. I’m not on my high horse just concerned that we’ve arrived en masse and need to do our very best to embrace #MastodonCulture.
