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 @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
@deadsuperhero good luck, I'm sure you don't need luck though :)
@deadsuperhero Good luck, ignore the haters!
@deadsuperhero Get Jack on the lean and then get him to agree to federate.
@deadsuperhero What's the topic?
@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 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!"?
