A #CharlieKirk fan murdered two Hispanic teens (one of which he was ordered to stay away from) after allegedly one of them joked about Charlie Kirk’s death. He then live-streamed about it on his YouTube channel.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.
The other sources are hallucinated too.

With the recent influx of newcomers from #Bluesky , it behooves us to contemplate what we can do to improve #moderation on the #Fediverse - something that has been a problem in the past, and is one of the major reasons why the Fediverse is not as big and as diverse as it could be.
The first and most important step is a cultural change - we need to be _aware_ of how harassment operates, _especially_ if we are not its target. Thus, everyone around here - admins most of all, but really everyone - needs to drill the following into their brains:
If you are not a member of a marginalized group, you are unlikely to ever see much of the #harassment they are experiencing. Heck, you might not even be able to recognize it as such! Thus, if members of said group talk about their experiences with harassment on the Fediverse, _take them at their word_ instead of reacting with disbelief or demands for explanation and elaboration.
It is this frequent reaction disbelief that has done more than anything else to harm the reputation of the Fediverse. Because let's face it, we are still a space that is overwhelmingly white and European/North American. If we want to change that - and it is my fervent belief that we should - then we need to take the lived experiences of others seriously.
Once we have accepted that we need to expand our understanding of how harassment on the Fediverse occurs, _then_ we can work out what tools are needed to improve the situation. Because I too often see the reaction:
"If someone experiences harassment on a large scale, they are not using the tools of the Fediverse correctly to prevent this."
This is blaming the victims of harassment for the problem, and not the Fediverse as a whole. And then we will have the same trainwreck as before, and the Fediverse will remain the same hobbyist's collective rather than the serious challenge to commercial social media platforms it should be if we ever want to stop the world's plunge into #fascism .

@fromjason@mastodon.social I think I agree.
They don't want to have to rely on quality, whether they deliver it or not, and actual people recommending them to their communities. they want an automated system to game, so that they may pretend to have reliable numbers to show sponsors and advertisers.

“Gold, often seen as a haven during times of turmoil, is on course for its best year since 1979, when prices surged over 100 percent during a period of high inflation, a depreciating dollar and a geopolitical crisis in the Middle East.
There are uncomfortable echoes of that past surge today”
