#authorship — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #authorship, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Actually, here’s what I really think is lacking: a hide post moderation option in Mastodon.

    Instead of deleting posts, moderators should be able to hide posts.

    Posts that are hidden by moderators should keep their place in the timeline but state publicly that they were hidden by moderators.

    (Servers other than the originating server must treat hidden posts as otherwise deleted and remove their local cache of the content. This is no different to the existing social contact for federated deletes.)

    The server should also clearly communicate to the person in question (this can be automated) that their post has been hidden and that they can challenge the decision via regular channels by filing an appeal. (And, if they don’t like the moderation, they can move to a different server, etc., as per usual.)

    That would feel much better to me than deleting a post outright and it can be combined with a moderation policy that promises not to delete or edit other people’s posts.

    It would also allow for an appeal process and the possible reinstatement of a post should it be found that a moderation error has occurred.

  2. Again, I challenge the traditional concept of authorship by arguing that creating written work has always been a matter of social attribution rather than manual production. The use of AI/LLMs is just the latest evolution in a long history of collaborative writing, much like the accepted roles of ghostwriters, speech writers, and editors.

  3. My Husband, the Author! Zack has published his first two books--"Soda and the Ineffable Concoction," and "We, the Riffed," the first fiction, the second non-fiction. Both are available from Amazon and both are terrific! #author #authorship #writing #writinglife #rifftrax #wetheriffed #soda #sodaandtheineffableconcoction #amazon #amazonbooks #published #publishing #husband #fairytale #fairytales #fantasy #fantasies #reference #compendium #references #compendiums #book #books #booklover

  8. The design-art collective COPODE and I are pleased to announce the launch of the 100% Inhuman Made badges project.

    We’re marking it with a post on the LSE Impact Blog titled ‘Nothing is “100% human authored”’:

    blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocial

    The project starts from the observation that #generativeAI is unsettling long-standing conventions of #authorship, #ownership and #credit.

    Much of the response so far has focused on reaffirming the role of the individual #human #creator. But what if that starting point is part of the problem?

    The 100% Inhuman Made badges project explores an alternative: challenging the idea that any work is ever purely human-made, and instead foregrounding the distributed, #collaborative and infrastructural elements involved in producing #knowledge and #culture.

    A 100% Inhuman Made badge is thus less a label than an invitation: to rethink what we mean by #creativity, authorship and the human in a world shaped by #climate breakdown and the rapid take-up of #AI.

  9. Good discussion at our #HealthSciences #PGR coffee morning about #authorship, especially when publishing with supervisors or larger teams.

    I used this recent paper to create a space for sharing experience and practice:

  10. Clear information is no longer enough.

    We now live in a world where a message can be:
    – fluent
    – structured
    – easy to follow

    …and still leave us uncertain.

    Why?

    Because clarity isn’t the limiting factor anymore.

    Identity is.

    ---

    A signal can be clear
    and still fail

    if we don’t know:
    – where it came from
    – who stands behind it
    – whether it can be trusted

    ---

    This is a new failure mode:

    Signal–Identity Decoupling

    The message is coherent.
    The source is blurred.

    ---

    The result isn’t confusion.

    It’s:
    – cognitive load
    – quiet doubt
    – erosion of trust

    We become our own verification systems.

    ---

    This creates a new kind of scarcity:

    Integrity Poverty

    Not lack of information—
    but lack of reliable origin.

    ---

    The question is no longer:

    “Is this clear?”

    But:

    “Who stands behind this?”

  11. We used to treat writing as evidence of thinking.
    That worked… until it didn’t.
    AI hasn’t removed authorship — it’s changed how words are produced.
    Used properly, it can enhance clarity, test ideas, and improve structure
    without replacing intent or accountability.
    We can show exactly how this works in practice:
