@Lorry@mstdn.social

I've been leading online policy & enforcement for nearly 40 years. I just finished as head of Safety and Advocacy for OkCupid after 9 years with Match Group where I also worked in T&S, data governance, legal compliance, DEI, realistic wellness, and ethics.

Sadly, I am not allowed to say why I quit.

First article I wrote online that still exists: 1988
Oldest email address I use daily: 1989
First Phrack hate: 1991 (Phrack 35)
Oldest domain name: 1992
First academic paper on social media: 1992

I just noticed that #PresidentsChoice has taken their reviews off their products. Dammit PC!

Cassandra Pendlethwaite left some fine reviews in their day and now it's all lost.

(Fine, I won't, they fixed it quickly with an appeal but it's a bad subject to moderate badly).

This is not misinformation... Will the Whitehouse's website suffice?

@nicholas_saunders @skypunch I guess someone went out of their way to report an old post, I got the ban notice today, but in mstdn.social's defence, the appeal was done within seconds. It was about this post:

@nicholas_saunders @skypunch Looks like I am not the only one, it happened to @rebeccawatson as well, and that was mstdn.social too - Is something going on with weird right-wing flagging, @stux ?

I just had to give my 11 machine a page file. It has 64GB of DDR5 RAM and for some reason, it's all being grabbed by plugins, Explorer, and tools like in 1GB chunks.

It seems like these days are thinking "I'll just grab 1GB and commit it, doesn't matter if I don't use it...".

Programmers these days are mostly arseholes who did a 4-day online course though, so I am team on this one.

This is a fascinating article by @theintercept

Biden's false claims, even though he knows they are lies, are interesting, and very Trumpian.

Either he is too senile to change his mind and let all of the facts from his own staff and intelligence services adjust his view, or he's following a very deliberate and untruthful agenda to support Netanyahu.

Both are very worrying for the future!

I obviously don't understand but why is allowed to sue in when neither of them are there. Wouldn't a change of venue request just be a rubber stamp?

It's all very odd!

This snippet from The sums up the modern pretty well - It's good they say the quiet bits out loud now, but it's kinda embarrassing to still be at this point.

That being said, it's nice to see the being mostly sensible here.

@sarajw @TheGuardian_uk @guardian I think the Conservative Party has discovered that putting Ultra Fascists into government doesn't really cause them any problems, so they are just running with it and upping the stakes every time.
