@aescling @coriander before mastodon had CWs, ROT13 was how people hid sensitive content, especially lewds

so the implication of having a ROT13 username would be that somebody was typing a toot to your normal username but ROT13'd it because it was a lewd post

the keyboard stuff was just because coriander was looking at keyboard maintenance things earlier today and "switch" is a funny polysemous word

optimistically i'm waiting for things to settle down a bit but who can say whether that will happen

before next week i AM going to take a look at our federation tab and maybe also revise our policies

@coriander (also blackle did the actual first implementation)

@coriander like he didn't WANT to but he didn't want

lewd//unun tbaan vafreg fbzr fjvgpurf va zl xrlobneq vs lbh xabj jung v zrna

on the public TL either LOL

@coriander the only reason he did was because everyone was ROT13ing their posts and that was "bad for onboarding"

@coriander communists who like work but hate workdays

@coriander if it wasn't for capitalism i just wouldn't have changed my clocks

@coriander i refuse to grace it with the honour of my acknowledgment

oh, that's why i feel more tired than usual at this time

@coriander not what i think of when i think of switches

just wait literally three days and then publish your take

if you publish a piece before Wednesday which analyses the results of the upcoming United States midterm elections, i’m blocking you

because i don't (can't) proactively moderate against smaller instances with a handful of users until they become a problem, it's really important that the big instances we send posts to only federate to small instances which are friendly

Show thread

my major concern is posts here showing up on federated timelines there and then getting boosted by someone outside our usual cultural sphere, leading to context collapse

moderation isn't good enough there to ensure that the people seeing and boosting our public posts are necessarily the people with our interests at heart
