One of the biggest systemic problems in American politics is that most of its most powerful decision makers grew up and benefitted from Jim Crow, while those on the right vying to replace them have not personally experienced Jim Crow but yearn for it bsky.app/profile/alex...

The primary example I’ve seen thrown around is the “Dixie Stampede” diner at Dollywood that she literally renamed once she learned that the reference was offensive: www.snopes.com/fact-check/d... Folks can say that it took her too long, but like… Southern culture and slavery are inextricably linked

Did Dolly Parton Say This About 'Dixie' Being An 'Offensive' Word?

The "Jolene" singer talked about the word amid renewed conversations on cancel culture.

Yeah it’s really unfortunate how well the maneuver has worked historically. Programmers like to imagine we can create “pure technology” spaces where politics aren’t allowed, but in fact it means we create places where politics are present but can never be named.

I agree with 1-3. 4 - contingent on this only applying to default algorithms, not opt-in ones like the feeds here. 5 is utter batshit. We have existing methods to deanonymize users, the most robust of which require effort that should only be undertaken if a crime is actually committed. 6 is fine

I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

Ban continuous scroll. Appears to one of the most addictive features with no downside in banning it. Require a 20s delay before playing any video. Would make essentially no difference to watching TV episodes or films, but would effectively nuke short-form video.8 Require all platforms to have the default feed as people you follow, in chronological order. Reduces algorithmic effects. Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content. As above, but more robustly. Require users to use real names. Much of the worst content is produced by anons; it would also make it easier to hold people to account for things that are banned in real life, such as libel or incitement to violence. Require all platforms to provide a suite of user tools. This might include hard blocks, ability to detag yourself or restrict ‘quote tweets’, and community notes.

If you're on signal & haven't already, maybe go to Settings → Notifications → Content → Name Only or No Name or Content Because apparently phone forensics can scrape msgs from notifications storage. Not just a signal problem, btw. Any encrypted messaging service w/ a "msg preview" type of setting

New from 404 Media: the FBI was able to extract incoming Signal messages from a phone even though the app was deleted. Why? Because parts of messages were stored in the iPhone's internal notification database. Shows how secure chat data can come from unexpected places www.404media.co/fbi-extracts...

Dolores Huerta😢 Painful truths about civil rights: 1) The most successful civil rights movements in US history were led by Black and brown women 2) But Black and brown men received the lion share of credit for the movements that women lead 3) Some of the men leaders, preyed on the women leaders

Shine. Not because it’s beautiful. Not because anyone’s watching. Shine because refusing to disappear is the only rebellion left. The world is bizarre. So be the strangest thing in it. Fight though the shame to your own light, And shine.
