@glynmoody every so often I have an important point to make...

@kerim either the default masto multi column (which has gotten better) or elkzone. I also like Mastodeck.

@jpaskaruk not pissed. just curious.

Anyway, if I were satisfied with what the modern internet has become why do I spend all my time trying to push it in a different direction?

@CStamp @rabble i would at least push back and say that is *not* the American conception of free speech. It may be the conception of a few very dumb Americans, but it is far from the actual concept of free speech in America.

@jpaskaruk honestly having trouble parsing this. are you calling me the "techbro media"?

@alecmuffett i think your premise is wrong. This is not a "right to use" lawsuit. Meta can still use technical measures to block.

It just can't take *legal* measures to block.

And I think that's a good result.

@shoq I think it's typical billionaire brainworms. nonsense about how "the woke are destroying the earth and only through bitcoin/AI can we save the world."

@shoq i doubt it? but maybe. i doubt Elon would embrace nostr. fwiw, i just noticed that Jack's post on Twitter that got all this attention was actually a repost from nostr.

@ami_angelwings @lea is there a screenshot or anything showing the "offending" account?

@ELS @drell @are0h they currently make revenue via domain name sales (usernames can be based on domain names), and they plan to offer other, similar value added services like that.

@jsit I mean half their staff are on the safety team.

@are0h @drell anyone who thinks Bluesky is "ignoring safety" is not paying attention.

You are not paying attention.

@kyozou That would be amazing if someone did...

@freezenet what a weird report. it has pages and pages of "there's a digital divide, girls need more access to tech" and then switches to "and access to tech is uniquely damaging to girls."

And it does no new work on this particular issue, just badly mischaracterizes some of the existing research.

@highvizghilliesuit just a minor correction: that excellent reporting was done by @KarlBode rather than myself.

@mapto @dangillmor I do not deny that there are mental health problems for many kids. The piece is explicit about that. I simply point out that the evidence does not, at all, support Haidt's conjecture that it comes from kids using social media on phones without oversight (which is very much his argument throughout the book).

And, because he has incorrectly diagnosed the cause of the very real issue (which again, I never deny), I point out that his policy proposals are dangerous and misguided.

@mapto @dangillmor Odgers argument makes up one paragraph in my 2000+ word piece. I highlight many, many other problems with Haidt's analysis distinct from Odgers.

I also find his response to Odgers not just misleading, but bordering on falsely representing the data.

I've been getting rate limited a lot lately, but, not sure I need it to tell me THIS MANY TIMES.

@K_REY_C @unnick i'm not ashamed to admit that sometimes tab bankruptcy is allowed.

@carlmalamud still my favorite of all our t-shirts
