Ideally, would be both. And it likely means getting Congress on board.

There’s a contagion effect, where news of school shootings inspires others to attempt the same.

The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.

Context for those who might need it

4.2 is tiny; other platforms are getting hundreds of thousands per day.

It’s small enough that the Mastodon use stats show it as noise.

I’ve seen the follow-around thing a couple times. Rare because we’re small. Become big, and it becomes a bigger problem

People can follow from a Mastodon instance and drop troll comments on all your posts

What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.

There has been a huge spike in BlueSky use, and Lula is now active there.

The NYT really does take Musk at his word even when he’s got a real history of banning accounts for saying true-but-left-wing things.

The bots are not reliable summarizes like that. They often can’t tell the difference between the author and the subject of a piece of writing.

I was surprised by that too.
