Yes I know that's why it started. But I'm starting to see it pop up in more places where it's not required. If it continues to propagate, it'll just become the word people use normally. That's how language works.

Instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I decided to try to get phanpy running in glitch.@sue if I run this locally with node 20, it works out of the box. It's probably a versioning thing with either node or npm. It's weird that it actually builds in glitch, but then just does the wrong thing somehow? Thanks for taking a look. To be clear, this is not important or urgent for me. Don't go out of your way on my account.

Instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I decided to try to get phanpy running in glitch.This is actually running. There are just javascript errors in the console. If anybody has ideas on fixing it, let me know. I can probably figure it out later. But I really need to be doing something else

It doesn't quite work. Something is missing with the vite build setup. It doesn't output the environment variables.
FYI. There are some other warnings. The default build configuration seems to want node version 18+. But glitch is still stuck on node 16. That doesn't seem to stop it from building though.

I gotta say, I am 100% sold on the "boost carousel" innovation in @phanpy.I should say a little more about phanpy. Because it sort of checks a lot of boxes for me. It's a web app instead of a native app. But it goes all in on the most modern affordances of web apps. I have an installed icon on my phone and on desktop. It's achieves 95% of the convenience of a native app. But I also get better update cycles and I can use browser tools to tinker with it. We should have way more options for software like this.

Just that little bit of separation allows boosted posts to still be useful without taking up more space than they should from original posts. It's great, and all other social media UIs should steal it immediately.

Almost every time I talk explicitly about white supremacy on mastodon, I get reported.It's also fascinating to look at the actions that an administrator can take in response to one of their users being reported. Your administrator clicks a button and nobody ever sees you again.
I think the Admin of a social media instance should have that power to moderate bad actors. But I also think this should be made really clear to users. And it underscores my belief that mastodon users should know their instance Admins and have a real connection to them.

I can't tell if it's an automated thing. It usually doesn't come with much reasoning or commentary. It just lists some of my posts that they find objectionable.
It's fascinating to see these things as both the individual being reported and the administrator of my instance. I can't tell how much visibility I would have if I were not the administrator.

When I left twitter I sort of wanted to get away from being "that guy who talks about white supremacy a lot".We all seek to understand the world a bit better every day. But many of us are hampered in our understanding by this missing piece of the puzzle. If we can't name it and engage with it honestly, our understanding of why things are happening will always be inadequate at best, and completely wrong at worst. People often accuse me of over-indexing on white supremacy as an "excuse" for everything. But that's not it. I just think it's the piece of the puzzle we have the least practice with.

But I guess that was wishful thinking. It's not that I wanna be talking about it. It's hard to escape. Because once you learn how to actually see white supremacy, it sort of becomes necessary to engage with it in order to understand what's happening around us.

A lot of people claim to want to understand white supremacy, but they really don't.Once we acknowledge white supremacy as something that can actually be identified in the real world, then we have to hold people accountable for it. One of the defining tenets of modern white supremacy is that it should never be attributable to actual humans. That way no one can be held accountable. I've been talking about this for a long time.

They tend to turn it into this abstract concept. And they have such a hard time mapping it back to real words and actions that real humans take in the real world.
I've come to understand this is a defense mechanism. Whether conscious or unconscious. People don't actually want to grapple with how white supremacy exists in the actual humans that they can see and talk to. It's safer as an invisible Boogeyman.

I always translate this as "I can't be bothered to development discernment and judgment about what's fake and what's not".@standev @futurebird I don't think Facebook is the entire culprit here. But certainly getting the fuck off Facebook is a message I can wholeheartedly support. I haven't logged in in 5+ years.

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/@jenniferplusplus @timbray I mean that part I don't have a problem with. I think paving cow paths and standardizing them later has worked most consistently in this space.
But like, why is "article:author" not sufficient for this use case? I'm ready to believe I'm missing something. I haven't looked at it all that closely yet.

I believe that's true for a lot of people. The challenge of navigating what my wife refers to as a "disordered information environment" has caused a lot of people to give up. It feels easier to just assume that basically anything could end up being a lie. But that has profound impacts on the what people do with the info they take in.
