@Ashedryden many years ago i used gephi to help me consolidate a bunch of twitter accounts, by mapping out my connections to whom i was following, and lumping them into loose circles based on the contexts in which i knew them. (for example, "these are the people i talk about music and bands with", versus "these are the people who i know from the android community back in the day", and so on.)https://gephi.org/if you need more scale to your graph, this could be a good option.

@Ashedryden oooh new-to-me Tchaikovsky, I will give it a shot

@johnglass @Ashedryden Ah, well you're probably better off not needing this feature!And yes, very nice to see these changes.But I am definitely looking forward to seeing more features addressing safety in the fediverse, like the upcoming "block list improvements".https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/10/trunk-tidbits-september-2024/

@sindarina @Ashedryden I thought AI workers only get paid in trauma?(Unfortunately, not a joke)

@Ashedryden this is contextual but opinionated and focused on Palestine. I'd also recommend: history of byzantium podcast, PreOccupation.https://www.amazon.com/Palestine-Four-Thousand-Year-History/dp/1786992728

Sociology/communications/history of the internet folks: I'm looking for articles on millennials and the early social web, focusing on how they (we) adapted to being the first native web generation to use it for that purpose, and how it changed how society approaches communication in general. I haven't had much luck turning anything up.#sociology #communications #history #research

@Ashedryden That is terrifying.

@Ashedryden For TV that is smart, funny and a little dark, you can't go wrong with Russian Doll.

@[email protected] thanks for the list! I've read several of these, which were all very much worth reading, and will add the rest to my list.One other that fits into this category is Simone Browne's Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness, including looking at the Lantern Laws of the 18th century (where any white person was deputized to stop any person of color caught walking without the presence of a light) as an early example of surveillance technology.

SO WEIRD how once a woman demands to be paid for the labor put on her by men it’s suddenly amoral.Talked to someone about how Twitch streamers who are women/femme presenting are “taking advantage” of the loneliness of hetero men.I am absolutely not sorry that a woman figured out how to deal with the unwanted attention men give her and the discrimination she faces in an industry dominated by men.Maybe men should be better.

Threatening the most politically active, but one of the least politically powerful segments of the population over exercising their right to speak truth to power is definitely a look.https://mastodon.world/@StillIRise1963/113277211591039456

@Ashedryden Gawd I loathe those people. Do they like to hang around family planning clinics where you are as well?
