Softblocking is the most important twitter skill no one ever taught you.
Block and then undo the block in the few seconds you’re offered. You’ve just managed to make the offender unfollow you and they have to be very smart and conscientious to notice they have unfollowed you. Most will never realize they lost you as a trigger for their snowflakery.
I don’t block unless you’re an obvious fascist or ultra nationalist and then you should eat a bag of dicks and no you cannot enjoy my tweets for free you scum
The smart fascists and ultra nationalists will self-censor to keep their stupid precious followership in position.

Academic researchers discover what Macedonian teens have known for years because it says so right there in the Facebook audience targeting dashboard.
Average pro-Trump Facebook user vs. the average Facebook user. Notice anything that might suggest why this user segmentation has certain propensities that help us understand why the right thrives on Facebook?
In our @parsonsdesign after-panel Zoom, we took cues from @JuliaAngwin@Moonalice to think about tools/methods/models yet built, or fully redesigned. Our design centric view framed UX as oft overlooked/mistaken as a mere byproduct of algos in these discussions. Also the Intl POV.
Mindblowing was @JuliaAngwin describing all the nuts and bolts that need to machined from scratch to build a data collector at the service of algorithmic accountability journalism that don’t leak data and cause collateral harm. What does building the tools you rely on teach you?
1st @joinClubhouse I listened to was on the topic of my interest area: data privacy. What I learned from the speakers and Q&A made me decide to HODL my invites until they deal with some seriously troubling issues.
ie, Chinese language privacy policy indicates that all eligible data transferred to PRC affiliate for NLP processing. CCPA/GDPR seem like they haven’t even gotten to the afterthought stage yet. VCs seem to be gunning to grow in flagrant (but familiar) disregard for data rights.
Clubhouse vulnerable to getting hit with existential penalties in EU for after-thoughting data rights whilst Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter refine their pre-compliant clones pre-juiced with pre-built social graphs. We have seen trendy networks fail to beat the incumbents before.
