So, can we tweet http://mastodon.social again?
@atomicpoet why have people defederated from it?
@batkaren a salad made out of flytrap and honeydew?
@Cheezebell I'm not sure if it's patriarchal violence or just its own (stupid) brand of violence.
@Cheezebell very interesting.
It's rare to see the pro-trans/anti-trans split featured within Radical Feminism. Usually the narrative is TERFs vs Coalitional Feminists, with the TERFs backing up their position with Radical Feminist definitions.
@ciphergoth @cypher yeah. I assume the bettors will take capture into account and can survive a few unfair losses.
But if we use prediction markets as truth oracles, capture takes us away from truth being a good bet.
@D0TheMath this is interesting. It seems to leave the possibility for cranks to keep the market alive well after it should naturally close. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature.
@zebrask I'm assuming that Sunni/Shia doctrinal differences are on the same scope as Baptist/Methodist ones, but you're right that they* just get into the narrow details on Christian sects, but go with historical origins on Muslim ones.
Weird.
* Whoever They are.
@Klangable eek.
This is still written, prompted and curated by a human though.
Oh. my. god.
Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them.
This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech.
#BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday.
I have to admit, it' a pretty nice little community we've got going here.
The local timeline is pretty nice to browse.
@ciphergoth I think one of the other server types supports it. Pleroma, maybe?
I wonder how hard it would be to add to the Mastodon frontend of your choice, and if it needs server support.
@zebrask I was going to ask if you could do Baptists vs Methodists. (I sure couldn't, at least without checking Wikipedia of something.)
