Gotta give a presentation at Twitter HQ tomorrow. Hopefully it'll go well; I spent a lot of time putting this together, and I think my insight and enthusiasm might be useful.

@kaniini suddenly Twitter is federated and built on Elixir.

@deadsuperhero no thanks. i don't want to federate with twitter :)

@deadsuperhero @kaniini it's funny how in the early days I mentioned that if such a thing became possible how no one would block it despite having Nazis

and no one provided me a sensible answer to the paradox of blocking instances that allowed Nazis but giving Twitter a free pass

probably because blocking an instance with a hundred users is nothing, but blocking an instance with millions is unacceptable

@deadsuperhero @kaniini personally I would block it because I don't want neoliberals in my @'s

@Elizafox @kaniini @deadsuperhero If Twitter adopted activitypub and was compatible with the fediverse as one giant silo instance then I'd block it. Giant corporate silos is not a good solution to anything.
@Elizafox @kaniini @deadsuperhero @bob On the other hand, it'd make it painless for people to leave twitter if they can keep following the same accounts on here. And if some instances like yours block twitter, all the better, because that just means leaving twitter will expose you not only to twitter users, but also users on instances that block twitter, thus more exposure, etc etc etc incentives etc etc etc

@deadsuperhero good luck, I'm sure you don't need luck though :)

@deadsuperhero Get Jack on the lean and then get him to agree to federate.

@OutOnTheMoors Basically I'll be walking through what Sentry is and how it works, and some best practices. It's basically for both people who have used it for a long time and people completely new to it.

Lots of engineers use it to track errors and resolve issues, so basically this is all educational content I've developed.

@deadsuperhero Their systems are deeply flawed and the algorithms - particularly those used to assess behaviour - badly written and toxic. (Just had all my accounts restored, one suspended for a year, after finally speaking to a human.)
But it's the lack of data security that made me move here. Police are investigating how a third-party's Swiss bank account was flagged as potentially fraudulent because Twitter's system falsely identified a problem.

@deadsuperhero Good luck with the presentation. I don't think there's any deliberate malice among their developers, they're just like Mickey Mouse and the brooms in the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment in Fantasia.

@deadsuperhero I can picture the title of the presentation: "Jump Now Off This Sinking Ship And Join The Federation"
@deadsuperhero double-decker one of their toilets before you leave

@deadsuperhero While you're there, can you please abduct Jack and force him to offer a chronological un-curated experience? And maybe infiltrate their systems and ban all the Nazis.

@deadsuperhero Does your presentation start "You are doing it wrong!"?
