Even when Twitter’s T&S infrastructure was at its most functional – which I’d say was 2021-mid 2022 – I sometimes saw appeals on content decisions, suspensions, etc. take 2-3 months unless I escalated to personal contacts at the company.

I keep seeing folks expect #moderation and community management decisions on volunteer-run fedi instances to happen in hours – not even days – and jumping to defederation when they don’t get immediate responses. It’s going to burn out so many admins, and makes me sad and worried about the sustainability and scalability of our communities.

Sierra just wants to point out that it might be bedtime where you are ? or maybe just time to stop posting, as the meme goes.

@evan would you like to know a truly cursed Mighty Mighty Bosstones fact

@sc00bz @epixoip @KeeperSecurity folks considering Keeper as a password manager should be aware of their litigious history with the security community: https://www.techdirt.com/2018/03/09/keeper-security-reminds-everyone-why-you-shouldnt-use-it-doubles-down-suing-journalist/

They have a bug bounty now (https://bugcrowd.com/keepersecurity ) but it does not allow researchers to disclose bugs (see “Disclosure” section) which to me represents a failure to engage with the security community. No amount of acronym certifications will make that ok for such a critical piece of security infrastructure.

It's honestly warming my heart to see everyone on the bird site uniting to cyberbully Elmo back into the stone age

So uh good luck to the CNN/WaPo/NYT devs tasked with setting up mastodon servers tomorrow I suppose

@mariellequinton I should figure out who to bug at the CBC about this :)

As the #birdsite continues turning into Gab, Musk’s latest tactic is to point the QAnon firehose (and other MAGA mobs) at former employees. He’s engaging with QAnon influencers - replying to them, RTing them, and even appearing on a twitter space with one of them. I’m reminded of how much QAnon “trafficking” rhetoric distracts from the real world harms - this early episode (from 2020!) of the Conspirituality podcast does a good job unwinding things: https://www.conspirituality.net/episodes/12-so-you-want-to-stop-child-abuse-regan-williams-amp-dr-theo-wildcroft
