But while forming opinions, maybe seek out writing by ACTUAL trans thinkers and journalists. Not just the quick reactions of cis social media admins who've never had to grapple with any of it.
Speaking of, that's something BBC itself is historically quite bad at.
I have nuanced views about the value of pre-emptive blocks and the vital importance of creating space for news organizations.
But I'm really disappointed with a number of #fediverse thought leaders whose stance to our legit pain seems to be dismissal and mockery of folks most directly harmed by their coverage.

รhnlich sieht es bei #Hubzilla aus. Und andere #Fediverse Plattformen kommen nicht in Frage, weil ich zu wenig Admin-Knowhow fรผr Non-LAMP habe.

Since such APIs for scanning #CSAM will never be open and free (so that criminals can not "test" materials before publication) then the only option is a decent #moderation #fediverse. But decent means actually manually reviewing all photo/video material published on the servers. And this, in turn, indicates that instances should be no more than real moderation capabilities. Such manual moderation does not seem realistic on instances with tens-hundreds of thousands of accounts.

The first question I ask is "how do I keep #CSAM off the instance" and nobody can answer that question.

As such power consumption isn't a meaningful metric for decentralized social media instances.

The world after Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. A new generation of the Internet? - FSFE
Join our symposium in Cologne on September 22 to discuss the role of decentralised social media platforms in our society!...FSFE - Free Software Foundation Europe
#Meta, #Tumblr, et al, are saying that they're joining the Fediverse (I'll believe it when I see it) and everyone is trying to figure out how best to deal with that.
Meanwhile, #Spotify and #YouTube have already #EEE #Podcasts by adding music podcasts that don't sync to #RSS feeds and not providing #VideoPodcasts with RSS feeds at all. No one is batting an eyelash about that!

Appears #BigJournalism does not treat non-commercial projects as legitimate.
Examples of projects which are discounted include the #Fediverse, #Wikipedia, #Wikidata, #MusicBrainz, & the #Greens.
Whereas #Facebook's #AssociationWithGenocide, Twitter allowing white supremecy, anti-vacc and Q-Anon to spread their poison, and similar on YT and TikTok etc, get treated as if that is just the acceptable cost of doing business . Cause they're "legitimate".
Not because I think it's a threat to the #fediverse, although it could potentially be.
Not because I think it will bring a huge amount of bad actors that will harass users on other instances, although that is definitely a risk.
My reason is simpler; #Facebook has done so much evil, society eroding shit, that I don't work with them on principle.
And Facebook knows that as well, which is why threads is instagram branded.

I'm interested in working with folks who want to study #AlternativeSocialMedia, including the #fediverse, from a critical perspective.
York U (in Canada) has some generous funding now, thanks to a major grant the university received (I'm affiliated with the grant).
Please do reach out if you have questions! Boosts appreciated.
