@cwebber It’s OK to source and recommend explainers by centrists. We should not be afraid that anyone who sees leftism firstmost as an identity will sneer at us in judgement. I have been there though. :|

@mattl H i Matt. Peace. I believe we met many years ago when you were representing the FSF at a free software event. It would have been in Porto Alegre in Brazil in maybe 2006 or in Boston a few years later.

I am not employed in tech anymore nor able to hire, but it would still be good to hear how you have been and what web component work you’ve done. Blessings.

Sou só eu que acho a palavra _fajuto_ engraçada?

@wag Essa conta de Ken Cheng faz piadas, cara...

@DeBMC Hoje em dia, pouca gente ainda fala dele, mas Eric Raymond é um cara principal do movimento para código aberto e um tipo de acquivista do mundo hackeador no sentido de programador em vez de criminoso. O cara é libertário e não gosta da esquerda.
E o cara que faz o canal de YouTube /DistroTube/ sobre o Linux é trumpista. Só isso.

@DeBMC Espero que ninguém fale isso para Eric Raymond e o cara que faz o canal de YouTube /DistroTube/.

@ntnsndr Thank you, Nathan!!

Hi all. I'm creating a wiki of public policies for the enabling and support of worker cooperatives and would like to adopt the evergreen tree logo that we have for social.coop (https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/accounts/avatars/000/050/248/original/b6f1174b16408327.png) but could not find anything in our online resources about licenses.

Does anyone know where the original one comes from/who made it?

Thank you and blessings.

@strypey if, if, could, could, could, if, if

The Nazis people wanted off of SubStack were explicitly advocating for their supremacist agenda. It’s not comparable to what the Israeli state does and to have some Israeli posters who may or may not agree with the actions of the Israeli government there, particularly when “pro-Israel” can so heavily vary. Israelis are a non-monolithic population. Nazis subscribe to an ideological cause. This is a massive category error.

@strypey And its fallacious to characterize it as suppressing people’s speech on the Internet to remove someone from a private platform for the content they promote. Do you think it’s speech repression to boot a user for TOS conduct violations?

@inthehands Yeah, the search results seem to net just about as bad as Google’s except for one test. https://danluu.com/seo-spam/

@ntnsndr Yes, I expect as much from our rules and moderation team, but I was thinking still about how even quote boosted posts could be triggering for some members, and if we should have some guidelines for those cases. @3wordchant @flancian

@3wordchant What do we gain in safety by defederating that we wouldn’t gain by limiting?

If we limit, then we will not see any Threads posts in the federated TL. If SC users decide to follow individual Threads accounts and boost any toxic bigotry into local, they’ll be in violation of our own internal codes of behavior and will be dealt with.

This does raise a new Q though. Are we in violation of rules if we quote boost something in order to critique it? Are CWs sufficient?
@ntnsndr @flancian

@ntnsndr It will be interesting to hear how this works.

@ntnsndr Will you be adopting a model in which you’ll be able to assess their thought processes and work, which will be showcased through the AI?

@emi I think there was some talk a while back about federating Loomio threads on Mastodon, but I guess it was forgotten. We should do it though!

@emi I do not recall @ntnsndr talking about this. I think at the time, they were focused on updating the wiki system. I feel like I may have suggested the Loomio Mastodon bridge in a Matrix chat. If Nathan talked about it, then that’s better.

This year’s #Emacs Conference is taking place right now; its official website is naturally RMS/FSF/MIT flavored. The video feed is not working on my mobile phone browser. So, the alternative instructions are to open a link in MPV (will VLC work?) on a desktop. The event times that are given in the schedule do not display a timezone. And presentation notes and collection of audience questions are provided via Etherpad. ? I hope the recordings will be available. ☺️ https://emacsconf.org/2022/watch/dev/

@sachac Hey. It's no problem. Sorry. I should have been less subtle that I thought it was funny in a charming way. Congratulations on the conference and thank you for everything you do!
