really loving the unconference format at #fediforum where the agenda fills up in the morning with whoever wants to speak. I enjoyed the first session on blocklists, but 1h was clearly not enough to discuss both social solutions and its technical implementations. Hopefully there will be space in Day2 to discuss content moderation with a focus on the human next to the architectural approach!

Almost missed out on #fediforum tomorrow! (thanks @xrisk 🙏 ) won't have much to contribute to the unconference, I planned on incorporating the fedi/mastodon in my PhD research about the mutual shaping of social norms and platform architectures (the project is too interesting not to include!) But I haven't started much of this research portion so i am mostly curious to listen tomorrow!

@aral ufff that's a cynical, but likely accurate, reading. If I understood correctly btw, Meta hasn't been prohibited by the EU to launch Threads, they decided themselves not to for now. But you're probably right that the reasoning behind their hesitation is not "privacy fines" but "antitrust fines"
