Can*Con is offering an online workshop. it runs for three weeks starting on May 14, every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 7 to 8:30 pm ET. It's a dedicated workshop with vetted experts who work in the field who’ll share wisdom, experience, and a way forward.
Well, smart server administrators have some limiting factor in signups. Wise server admins like those at #HoosierSocial and #WanderingShop both do this. Even something as simple as a dialog box asking why you want to be a member will stymie automatic signups by a spambot.
Open registrations seem like a fun, OK idea, until they become a terrible idea overnight.
I want to talk about why I’m leaving #WanderingShop after more than six years on this instance. It’s because of a recent moderation decision that has led me to understand that the moderation team is unwilling and unable to protect Jewish users from antisemitism and harassment, and worse they seem unable to recognize really blatant and obvious antisemitic tropes and conflate them with “pro-Palestinian” sentiments which does a massive disservice to both Palestinian and Jewish people.
