The Mono Lake Kutzadika Paiute tribe has dwindled from 4,000 members to just 83 since white ranchers and gold miners began pouring into the basin in the 1850s.

Tribal leaders still face the long and expensive process of gaining federal recognition. latimes.com/environment/st…
“Stress is an understatement,” said Charlotte Lange, 67, chairwoman of the tribe that despite being unrecognized maintains a tribal organization and holds monthly meetings. “We just want a place to call home, and time is running out.”
latimes.com/environment/st…
The Mono Lake Paiutes are among roughly two dozen unrecognized and landless tribes in California that have initiated petitions for federal recognition by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.

A quasi-democratic approach to content moderation sets Reddit apart from most other major social media platforms.

But it is not without downsides.

@_B_Contreras_ reports: latimes.com/business/techn…
Corporate administrators from Reddit occasionally ban forums that allow hate speech and violent threats to proliferate.

But for the most part, much of the rule-making and enforcement on Reddit happens from the bottom up and varies between subreddits. latimes.com/business/techn…
Unpaid moderators write rules for each subreddit and use tiplines, automated filters and manual oversight to help enforce them.

But volunteering as a janitor for a website that describes itself as the “front page of the internet” isn’t always pretty. latimes.com/business/techn…
