It's really interesting how some people wrongly claim that trans folks are more likely to commit mass shootings. The thing is, there aren't many trans people out there, so if just one of them is involved in a shooting, it messes up the statistics. Basically, trans people aren't going around shooting up places in any meaningful numbers, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand statistical biases like insignificant number bias or sample selection bias work.
edit: Depending on how you count a mass shooting, and if you count the person in denver who (allegedly) changed their identity to avoid hate crime charges.
So if I understand GDPR correctly: If I want a service/business to remove all my personal data, they have to comply with it in a certain timespan or get in trouble with the law....
Hello #Mastodon, I am seeking comments from the community to include in my next newsletter about #Google's change in their privacy policy. (They now say that anything you post online will be used to train their AI models.)
I am especially interested of thoughts from #writers and #artists.
How do you feel about this move? What do you think about placing your content behind a wall to protect it? And will this change how you post online in the future?
When you post on the internet, you are putting your content up to the masses, for whatever use possible. It is a general rule that if it's not behind a paywall or a login screen (requiring agreement to the TOS), then it is legal to use for any purpose. See web scraping, and its legality, for an example. Not saying I like how it is, but when we put our info out there, we can't make rules on how it is used.
I’ve been hearing that Meta (Facebook) intends to join the fediverse. I have some very big concerns about that, as do apparently many others. There exists a group of instances called the fedipact which will not be federating with Meta, and I was wondering if this instance would be joining. So there is no ambiguity with this...
It's searching for any comment 1-4 karma below a deleted comment. It's a good thing it's "That solved it. Thanks!" instead of "That solved it, Thanks!" (because commas are more common)

How can an instance comply with GDPR if they're federated?

Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.

Moving to new platforms/3rd party apps has made me realise everyone else has something against collapsing child comments.
I miss you RIF. I just wanna see the daddy comments.
Will this instance be joining the fedipact?
