@Hex By aggressively shortening posts, social media limit our global conversation to dual interactions: we won't talk about how A impacts B and C, and reciprocally from B and C.

So lots of legitimate activist takes get lost in translation. This is also true for the cyberpunk utopia: how technology would enable an actual social media, the internet, and following this permanent democracy.

We didn't see the web 2 coming. I have strong opinions on the topic: https://gotosocial.social/@oceane/statuses/01JRATNZGECKJDBQMDWSXS2WKQ

An eon later, anarchists have promoted Mastodon (despite its inherent flaws) from a wither anarchy scope; current developments from and around the GNU project (around Org, Guix, and Skribe (with the Haunt and Skribilo implementations, as well as Linux Mint, GNOME…) make it irrelevant today. For example, as a Scheme fork Skribe actually is among the most simple ways to write a document in a Turing-complete language. Similarly, one could write in the Gemini syntax and export their posts as PDF thanks to Skribilo.

These improvements can't be overstated.

Another reason was to provide a shelter to actual trolls – socially isolated people often living with ADHD and depression, struggling with the most basic aspects of public infrastructure, lacking sleep, comfort, or the ability to maintain a decent hygiene. Twitter has gamified trolling, but by doing this at the expense of their own users they've gamified solving social problems – how to get people's attention without crossing their boundaries.

Trying the #100DaysToOffloadChallenge with some of the aforementioned software (for example by using an ox-ghost or an ox-writefreely helper) on the topic of solving social problems from the scope of your niche might be disruptive, especially by bridging this to your humanities cursus. I suspect that about 1500 free software trolls live in my town, so one could host horizontal events dedicated to solving social problems through academic references.

That is, IMHO, one efficient way to speed up activist work in a plurality of areas.

These are, IMHO, interesting structural causes to the obsessive, if not monotropic, focus on the dystopian aspects of cyberpunk, that happen on the web 2. There is no particular reason to load a website to work on a personal document when Emacs, Org, and/or Skribilo exist; other reasons can be read in Guy Debord's (very accessible) “The society of the spectacle” book (1967), leading to what communities of goth/lesbian/leftist Instagram users have openly appropriated as “cybercore”.

gotosocial.socialPost by Océane, @oceane@gotosocial.social“Computers were a mistake?” You can't be serious. The web was a “mistake” -- err, it was promoted by Google executives, governments, and clueless journalists. Who figured out once they realized their mistake that they didn't want to lose their jobs to the development of an open, public blogg...

While it's not really a one to one comparison, this same account on Twitter had me blocking hundreds and hundreds of trolls, while here I don't remember a single troll.

On Twitter their algorithm would get this account exposed to more users, many were just trolls.

One example was a post comparing the Roger Stone sentence, to what Willie got. Lots of folks would reply that they didn't think Willie was a real person or the facts were not correct. So I would reply to them, with a link to our website justiceforwilliesimmons.org/ At which point many would resort to trolling me.

So while I believe people who say they have problems with trolls on mastodon that hasn't been my experience.

Justice for Willie SimmonsJustice for Willie Simmons"Sometimes I feel like I'm lost in outer space." In 1982, at the age of 25 Willie Simmons was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for stealing $9. He has been in prison for 41 years. This web site is intended to advocate for his release and compensation for the injustice…

🤖📈 Welcome to the world where thinking people are "cultists" and #online #trolling is now an official criterion in scientific inquiry. Apparently, if you're not being told to "kill yourself" by keyboard warriors, you're not questioning hard enough. 😅🔍

UNTOPIA · The Tranhumanist Cult TestBy UNTOPIA

Habe mir 1 Formulierung zurechtgelegt, falls mal wieder ein #AxelSpringer - Fossilist ein Statement oder Interview wünscht:

„Aus historischer Verantwortung werde ich keinem Konzern in #Berlin zuarbeiten, der einen #AfD-Wahlaufruf des Hitler-verharmlosenden Elon Musk abdruckte & dessen #Shitbürgertum-Autor die Kirchen mit Deep State - Verschwörungsmythen beschimpfte. Ich empfehle 1 Lektüre zur fatalen Rolle von #Hugenberg. Weiterem #Trolling & #SLAPP - Klagen sehe ich gelassen entgegen.“

💁‍♂️🤭✅✊

I have figured out a hilarious way to troll #elonmusk fans commenting on my videos.

They always go with the lowest hanging fruit insult. First thing they notice, that is the insult.

I used a filter a couple times that grays me out, and makes me look like a vampire.

Then they usually tell me I need to get more sun and move out of my mom's basement.

I just say "I thought you guys liked pale people!" And their brain completely fries, and they RAGE.

Hinweis zum richtigen Umgang mit #Trolling

Seit der Amtszeit #Trump I habe ich es mit teilweise professionellen Trollen & Hatern aus dem In- & Ausland zu tun. Einige konnten wir auch schon zur Rechenschaft ziehen, andere handeln im Auftrag.

Eine Lehre aus Erfahrung: Leitet bitte KEINE Hass-Nachrichten, Screenshots von Trollen an Betroffene weiter, fordert uns nicht zu Stellungnahmen o.ä. auf.

Zeit ist genau das, was Trolle stehlen wollen. Löschen reicht. Danke. 😊🙌 scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-
