  4. In the interests of starting a more productive dialogue than yesterday's main character was interested in, let's make a #brainstorm thread about design changes to ActivityPub and/or client UI that could actually help address drive-by (often racist) harassment on the fediverse.

    Feel free to discuss pros/cons but don't feel an idea needs to be perfect to suggest it. Also since this is a brainstorm don't worry about complexity/implementation cost. If you have a great-but-hard-to-implement idea someone else may think of a way to simplify it.

    Note that the underlying problem *is* a social one, do there won't be a technological fix! But tech changes can make social remedies easier/harder.

    I've got some to start:

    1. Have a "protected mode" that users can voluntarily turn on. Some servers might turn it on by default. In protected mode, users whose accounts are less than D days old and/or who have fewer than F followers can't reply to or DM you. F and D could have different values for same-sever vs. different-server accounts, and could be customized by each user. Obviously a dedicated harasser can get around this, but it ups the activation energy for block evasion and pile-ons a bit. Would be interesting to review moderation records to estimate how helpful this might or might not be. Could also have a setting to require "follows-from-my-server" although that might be too limiting on private servers. Restriction would be turned off for people you mention within that thread and could be set to unlimit anyone you've ever mentioned. Would this lock new users out of engagement entirely? If everyone had it on via a default, you'd have you post your own stuff until someone followed you (assuming F=1). One could add "R non-moderated replies" and/or "F favorites" options to soften things; those experiencing more harassment could set higher limits. When muting/blocking/reporting someone who replied to your post, protected mode could be suggested with settings that would have filtered the post you're reporting.

    2. Enable some form of public moderation info to be displayed when both moderator and local server opt-in. Obviously each server would be able to ignore federated public tags. I'm imagining "banned from X server for R reason (optional link to evidence)" appearing on someone's profile & an icon on their PFP in each post viewed by someone on server Y *if* the mods of server X decide it's appropriate *and* server Y opts in to displaying such tags from server X specifically. Alliances of servers with similar moderation preferences could then have moderation action on one server result in clear warning propagation to others without the other mods needing to decide whether to also take action immediately. In some cases different moderation preferences would mean you wouldn't take action yourself but would keep the notice up for your users to consider. Obviously the "Scarlet Letter" vibe ain't great, but in some cases it's deserved, and when there's disagreement between servers about that, mods on server Y could either disable a specific tag or disable federation of mod tags from that server in general. Even better shared moderation tools are of course possible.

    3. Different people/groups have different norms around boosting. Currently we only have a locked/public binary. Without any big protocol changes, adding a "prefers boosts/doesn't" setting which would warn in the UI before a viewer chooses to boost if the preference is "doesn't" could help. This could be set per-post, but could also have defaults and could have different values for same-server or not, or for particular servers. For example, I could say "default to prefer boosts from users on my server but not from users on other servers" or "default to prefer boosting on all servers except mastodon.social." Last option might be harder to implement I guess.

    Question on Reddit from 2021: How do you deal with a toxic pagan community?

    Answer (by sidhe_elfakyn)

    "Background

    I don't have experience with organizing Pagan events, but I have several years of experience with organizing events in general. My main area of focus has been event safety and culture, especially related to abuse and harassment. I burned out after about 4 years or so and I disconnected from that for a few years, but I'm getting back into it, at least informally.

    Introduction

    Unfortunately, toxic, unsafe events are extremely common. I believe one of the factors that exacerbates the situation is the fact that religion and spirituality are one of those key areas of the self where people can find a sense of shared identity, meaning, and direction. Leaders can act as gatekeepers for someone's feeling of belonging and acceptance, and that's prime ground for abuse.

    Regarding what you can do: one of the key aspects is ensuring that your events are safe. You've got your events, and you have other events and the community at large. The first one you have a great deal of influence over; for the most part you have only indirect influence over the second.

    At your events

    The key words for leading safe events are culture and values. Culture comes from the top down. You want to engender the culture at your events that matches your values (for instance, a value that attendee safety and comfort is paramount). Your community will self-select based on the culture of your events. So if you want to maximize women's feeling of safety, that needs to be baked into your events' culture.

    The primary way to do that is through policies and processes.

    - Have policies in place around #harassment and #ToxicBehavior, including #consequences for harassment. Publicize your policies, put them front and center. That right there will already select out a lot of toxic people and include people who feel unsafe at other events.

    - Publicize a way to report harassment and other toxic behavior. Make it easy. It's already hard enough to come forth with reports of harassment.

    - Have a process to investigate and handle such reports (offer both anonymous -- where the reporter doesn't share their identity -- and confidential -- where the reporter shares who they are but you keep it secret -- options). Be particularly mindful of the emotional burden and potential trauma of the person who reported it.

    - Make sure your processes are capable of dealing with reports of leaders committing abuse.

    - Remember that if you don't remove toxic people from your events, you'll drive away their victims instead.

    Your events will thus differentiate themselves from others where there is toxicity. Your membership will form into people who will uphold your event's culture of safety. There's a lot to be said here, these are just some ideas.
    Interacting with other leaders and events at large

    There will hopefully be other organizations like yours, that pay particular attention to safety. Reach out to those leaders, establish communication, form a network.

    Vet those organizations to make sure they are a right match for you. Create joint activities and events. This way your culture and values of safety will spread. You will lead by example and show that your events are safer, more comfortable, people are more engaged, participate more etc.

    What about toxic leaders and events?

    I've yet to find a way to influence other leaders into being less toxic. You can carve out a pocket of safety at your events but if a leader and event are toxic, it is very important to not affiliate yourself with them. Don't recommend people to their events, don't do joint activities etc.

    Having been on both sides, both as an attendee who has been sexually harassed and abused, and as an event organizer, I can say that affiliating yourself with toxic leaders will simply send the message to the people at your events that you are OK with their behavior (even if you're actually not, that's unfortunately the message that is being sent!); people will pick up on that and your event's culture and the people who go at your events will reflect that.

    There is no changing #ToxicLeaders' minds. The most important thing is to make sure your events are safe and to associate yourself with other safe leaders, and to disassociate yourself from toxic people. This will send the message that you are, in fact, not ok with that behavior and you will not associate with it.

    What about events that aren't intentionally toxic?

    I've seen plenty of leaders who want a safe community but inadvertently foster an unsafe one. This can happen for many many possible reasons, and it is an art and science in itself to figure out what's going on and address it. Keep an open channel of communications with these leaders. Lead by example. Show them how you do things and how your community is safe. If you do joint events, be very very careful; you don't want to expose your communities to toxic behavior, since people will be made uncomfortable or possibly even harmed and trust in your events' safety will be broken.

    Share your expertise, share your policies, offer mentorship and coaching, but don't overextend yourself. Your primary responsibility is towards your events and members.

    Closing thoughts

    I'm in the NYC area. Of the types of events that I used to lead, I can only think of a handful of safe ones. In New York Fucking City, only a small handful. However the community around these events is magnificent. New people seek out the safe events, word spreads, and these events are some of the most vibrant and alive, because people will return when they feel safe and welcome, when they feel their concerns are taken seriously and acted upon, and when leadership holds itself accountable, too.

    There will always be toxicity around. However, if you carve safety at your events, others will take notice. Over time, a network will form of safe events and leaders. Toxic leaders will keep being toxic, but the leaders who are having trouble creating a safe event will take note, will follow your lead, and will come to you for mentorship and guidance.

    Good luck! It will be difficult but extremely rewarding."

  6. "A wave of #antisemitic incidents across #Canada is raising alarm within the country’s #Jewish community, as tensions linked to conflict in the #MiddleEast continue to drive a surge in #vandalism, #harassment, and #violence targeting #Jews and #Israelis.

    In one of the latest antisemitic incidents, a #kosher restaurant and a neighboring business in #Montreal, the largest city in the province of #Quebec, were vandalized on Wednesday, with antisemitic #graffiti and #swastikas spray-painted across their walls.

    The incidents followed separate attacks in #Toronto, a city in the province of #Ontario, where shots were fired at a Jewish-owned restaurant and at a local #synagogue.

    In another troubling antisemitic incident, a 15-year-old Jewish #student in #Halifax, the capital of #NovaScotia, has been forced to continue his education online after his school failed to stop repeated antisemitic harassment and #bullying."

  7. [Petition] Black & #Transgender Lives Lost to Medical Neglect: Demand Justice in MA Hospitals!

    The Issue

    "My name is And Steiner. I am a Queer, gender-diverse patient that has been hospitalized in Massachusetts' (MA) Department of Mental Health (#DMH) hospitals for four years because of severe suicidality with suicide attempts.

    "During that time, I have endured three attempts by DMH to suddenly discharge me from treatment without appropriate support, a practice known as '#PatientDumping'. This usually occurs when insurance has denied coverage or a patient has become a legal liability and often proves deadly, as you will see in this petition.

    "While under DMH’s care, I have learned of at least two cases of serious medical neglect, and one suspected, which resulted in patient deaths. #HaywoodEarl was a Black man who died 'a painful and untimely death' from medical neglect at #LemuelShattuck Hospital, according to an investigation by #DisabilityLawCenter. Disability Law Center also investigated the death of #CaSonyaKing (pictured), a Black woman who they concluded 'died needlessly' from being 'patient dumped" from a #PsychiatricHospital. It is suspected that #JeanBusch, a transgender patient at Lemuel Shattuck, died similarly. All minorities. All died needlessly.

    "When I learned of their deaths I was affected deeply. I reported Jean's death to DMH Authority, Attorney General Campbell and Governor Maura Healey in Jan 2023.

    "Despite being under no criminal investigation, as punishment for reporting Jean's death, I was illegally and forcibly transferred to a dangerous forensic ward with no due process. There I experience 15 months of relentless physical #assaults, as well as verbal and sexual #harassment, often directly related to my sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity."
