The #federation model is effectively collaborative #moderation. The behaviour of every individual is too hard to track, but the limits of what a particular server considers permissible is more easily discovered. A user can pick an instance based not only on their own instance's limits, but how their instance handles federation with instances with significantly different limits.
Importantly, this model includes transparency and accountability. By contrast, shared blocklists address the scalability problem, but do so entirely without accountability. One of the largest shared blocklists on Twitter systematically blocks trans people, especially trans women. This list came about as a way to address the non-moderation of Twitter, but then, without accountability, became a tool furthering inequality and invisibilising marginalised people. What in scuttlebutt prevents this?

@clacke I mean, the also extremely right wing. Most Christian HE founded since the 1950s has been, in some or all measure, a response to desegregation. The primary organising force among white evangelical Christians in the us is whiteness. Unfortunately, this also increasingly applies to Catholics as right wing white Christianity has rebranded to oppose abortion and LGBTQ people as other vectors of people not knowing their place and acting as if they have agency or something.
Anyway, there's a giant movement to give all of the state's social welfare organisations over to churches while simultaneously empowering churches to ignore what civil rights laws they don't happen to like.
Christian education is NOT the answer to underfunding public services.

I have been flustered and confused all day

@christiand this raises done interesting questions, which I think are actually important: what social networks are popular in the global south? What is the fediverse missing that would increase its uptake in those areas? I don't know how to find these answers, but maybe someone I follow does.

I kind of want a Mastodon/#fediverse installation for my students. I think it would be a good way for them to collaborate and share information, not data mined by an American company AND an opportunity to explore what it means to maintain a professionalised presence online and separate out their personal connections to another account or platform.
I should discuss this with my line manager, since I think this should also have a relationship with the uni's IT services rather than my risking their ire by inappropriately using their name.

@pettter Your patience in this discussion is extremely admirable and I sincerely appreciate your willingness to get into it.

While people are taking about small instances: if you are interested anything you think might be covered by the term 'algonoise' and are cool with the SuperCollider code of conduct, get in touch.

You: interested in the aesthetics of #algorithms or real time music generation or the political baggage of #Lorks vs #LaptopEnsembles or how #LiveNotation draws on 19th and 20th century ideas of virtuosity.
