In one case, they put emphasis on pushing for improvements in appeals processes and the like. They then go "hoorah!" as if this is a big victory.

It isn't as if this is without value but a bigger issue are deliberate policy decisions. Facebook removing nudity is a deliberate policy decision. It's not as simple as someone making a mistake.

I've seen the EFF and the ACLU doing good work to defend free expression.

Looking at their site, GFF does good work on privacy but is almost absent on free expression issues.

Privacy is still an important area to work in, and it's good that they do that, but it's also worth considering their limitations. Don't expect too much from them in that area.

No one expects the new admin problem.

For instance, eBay got a new CEO and then decided to ban NSFW products. Could be worse on the fediverse, if someone is used to certain dynamics with the admin.

Reminder that "safety by design" is a euphemism for censorship which an unreasonable foreign politician came up with.

I'm not asking for a whole lot by pointing out bad instances. Just two things:

1) Don't use them.

I'm not asking anyone to reform them or whatever.

One Punch Man is still going on? What's next? Is he going to defeat God?

I'm also curious about how well the poll functionality is working.

I should have added an option for Space Dragons.

It's fascinating how "non toxic" can be co-opted by what are essentially narcissists.

Email addresses are a form of PII which people casually collect all the time, even though they often don't really need to. I'd like to do things differently here.

I don't really want to be collecting lots of PII either.

Email subscriptions are one possible option but it would take a fair bit more complexity, particularly to reduce the probability of a mail provider deciding to just toss the thing in spam. Would readers regularly check emails?
