I've been working on a very simple project I didn't find already done (although I didn't search very deeply, so please correct me if this exists).
I call it [[tit for tat]] (with forgiveness) :)
It works like this: it tries to keep your followers and following in line in #Mastodon. You can allow/denylist people, but otherwise it will try to follow everybody who follows you and unfollow everyone who doesn't.
In this thread I'll try to explain why I think this is a good #prosocial idea.

Yea. The Tombstone object is available in #ActivityStreams but I think it is very tricky indeed to have a proper #prosocial wire implementation.
Suppose someone crosses the line in their conversation, receives harsh criticism, and decides to remove their post, now the wriggling tail of critique and judgment becomes detached from the popular originator toot in the thread. Unattached, floating freely in #social fabric, often without the context on why criticism was deserved. A harrasser comes off easy, one can say. They also have more chance to 'clean their slate', by showing better #behavior and re-earn lost respect if their comms violation wasn't too egregious.
A tombstone inserted in the deletion space, even when totally anonymised, still has mentions of the person in the following replies, which for a full-blown "right to be removed" would involve removing those too. Or else a respondent can make sure that the bad Monday someone had, remains carved in stone.

Cette vidéo du #vortex avec @Hackingsocial est extraordinaire :
L'extrême droite se trompe sur la nature humaine ! @hacking-social I ARTE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICyTl1Gvdf4#Chayka démontre avec brio que la nature humaine, ce n'est pas une agressivité innée envers ses semblables mais plutôt que l'empathie et les comportements prosociaux sont câblés à l'intérieur de notre cerveau.
Ça me rappelle «L'entraide, l'autre loi de la jungle» de #PabloServigne.

Did a wonderful podcast interview on ideas in my __Changing How We Choose__ book.
Including some great defenses and discussions of why inclusionary (pro-immigrant, pro-diversity) social codes are better than exclusionary (xenophobic) social codes.
Check it out. (EDIT to put the correct link in. Sorry about that.)

History
When did your group come together and why? Share major accomplishments and tell us about your recent activities, successes, and learning opportunities.
Stimpunks was created to forge the way for educational inclusion and to give our community the means to survive and to thrive. We as a disabled and neurodivergent run organization had to roll our own education, because even the “all means all” of public education failed to include us. We had to create our own care systems, because “we realized that the only people who care enough about us to work consistently for our liberation are us.” “Responsibility for the survival of entire communities lies with us.”
Learn more about our history, our successes, and our current activities on our front page and our Now page. We put a lot of time into long-form scrollytelling (scrolling + storytelling) and will be sharing links to our website as part of this application process. You’ve never seen a website like ours. Check it out. Professors have told us they use our website to teach digital composition.
Root Causes
What is the specific problem or injustice your group is trying to solve? What are the root causes of the problem (racism, poverty, sexism, etc.)?
We live in an age of mass behaviorism, rampant ableism, and unvarnished eugenics.
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/ableism/
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/behaviorism/
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/eugenics/
Schools are inaccessible to us because of “empty pedagogy, behaviorism, and the rejection of equity“.
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/equity/
When you or your kid is diagnosed as neurodivergent, almost all of the professional advice you get from education and healthcare is steeped in deficit ideology and the pathology paradigm.
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/deficit-ideology/
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/pathology-paradigm/
The logistics of disability and difference in a structurally ableist and inaccessible world poisoned by bad framing are exhausting, often impossible. We are perpetual hackers, mappers, and testers of our systems by necessity of survival.
“I would like to honour all the autistic people who survive the care system somehow.
“All those who survive extreme ‘therapy’.
“All those who are brought to their knees, reading hellish descriptions of their loved people.
“And all who did not survive this onslaught.”
—Ann Memmott
Part of surviving the onslaught is naming the systems of power.
https://stimpunks.org/pathways/systems-of-power/
Action & Lasting Effect
What is your overall strategy for solving the injustice described above? What social, economic, political, or cultural institutions or systems will you work to change in order to fight the injustice? What actions will come out of your work? What will be different in your community and our society because of your work?
IF you do direct services to meet the needs of your community, how do you connect that work to organizing, action & systems change?
IF you are creating an alternative to a current system/policy/institution, please tell us why and describe how that will make real change for your community.
We tackle injustice through two avenues, education and direct giving to individuals.
Our mutual aid grants and creator grants give money directly to individuals to use as they need.
https://stimpunks.org/philosophy/direct-support-to-individuals/
We develop educational programming directed at these institutions:
- Public and private education
- Human services
- Psychiatry
- Academia and autism research
- And more.
Our emancipatory research efforts focus on the sweet spot of digital sociology, neurodiversity studies, disability studies, and syncretism, in the open. We improve the scientific experience for the disabled and the neurodivergent by restoring the humanities. We bring voice into empirical constructs and translate voice into academic comprehension.
https://stimpunks.org/research/activist/
In addition to educating those in existing systems and institutions, we have created our own anti-ableist learning spaces compatible with neurodiversity and disability. These spaces use the best of progressive pedagogy to avoid the problems that exclude us from public and private education.
Constituent-Led
Who is most impacted by the injustice you are fighting? How are those most affected actively providing leadership and direction for your work? How do you identify & develop new leaders?
Neurodivergent and disabled people are most impacted by the ableism we fight.
As part of our mission, we hire neurodivergent and disabled people and invest in their professional development. We don’t think of administrative costs as “overhead”, though we are mindful of how much we spend. We consider administrative costs a component of our mission. We pay living wages to those who help us run the organization. We include folks in our software subscriptions so that they have the tools to do work. We introduce folks to the rhythms of distributed work and team work so that they can take these skills with them wherever they go.
Community-Wide
How does your organization define diversity within your constituency? How do you ensure that everyone is represented in your organization – especially those with less privilege in your community? In addition to filling out the diversity chart, describe any activities, education, or actions your organization has taken in this area. Also explain any progress or set-backs in this area.
We outline our notions of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging as well as the major obstacles to them on this page:
https://stimpunks.org/2025/01/30/deib-and-their-adversaries/
Organizational Structure and Decision Making
Who decides what kind of work your group does? What is the decision-making process? How are you organized (staff, board, volunteers, leaders)? How are your decisionmakers accountable to the larger community? If you have a fiscal agent, please explain the relationship.
We reject hierarchy. We use prosocial principles, restorative practices, transformative justice, and an advice process. We encourage omnidirectional learning, competency networks, and a “Default to open” philosophy. We use the NeurodiVenture operating modeled.

https://stimpunks.org/philosophy/default-to-open/
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/neurodiventure/
Movement Building
How does your group see itself as part of a larger movement for social change? How does your work connect with other social change issues and communities? Describe the most important coalitions, collaborations or networks that you participate in. Include your organization’s role.
We actively participate in the greater neurodiversity and disability rights movements and are part of the ever expanding Autistic rhizome.
https://stimpunks.org/glossary/autistic-rhizome/
Our allies include:
Funding and Community Support
Please describe your current fundraising activities. How does your community support your organization? How do you plan to sustain your future work? If you have any committed or pending grants, please list them, if applicable.
We do fundraising through our website and peer-to-peer campaigns as well as events.
Our community helps with peer-to-peer fundraising.
We plan to sustain our future work by continuing peer-to-peer fundraising and applying for grants with the help of our partners at Point B(e) Strategies.
Community Feedback
How do you integrate community feedback into your work?
We default to open. We run our organization in the open in our community Discord and on our website. We iterate openly, create feedback loops, and continuously integrate that feedback using methods we developed in open source project management.

3️⃣ Especially effective if you are going beyond knowledge transfer and seeking to persuade.

"While the evidence does not uniformly nor definitively tip the scale to a side of the debate, the bulk of the evidence suggests that #markets, by and large, encourage #prosocial attitudes and promote prosocial behavior."

«We define morality as a set of principles that distinguishes between right and wrong (or the good and the bad) and that guides the conduct of members of a group or community.5 In a more concrete sense, our morality, or moral system, is an interlocking system of values, beliefs, norms, practices, habits, identities, and attitudes/orientations that shapes us, guides us and spurs us (or not) to behave and act in certain ways as we navigate our social worlds. Morality functions to promote and regulate social interactions and cooperation that we necessarily must have as a result of coexisting with other people while constraining behavior and action that may bring harm to others in our community in particular ways.[...]

I’m excited to be a co-author on a new #OpenAccess article published with @jhbeffel in Infant and Child Development.
Using #ERGM and #metaanalysis, we find that #children with higher levels of #prosocial behavior had more affiliative relationships. We also found that the more similar children were in prosocial behavior, the more likely they were to have an affiliative relationship.

Thanks for this @robin!
I found your piece insight-full, and relevant to the sense-making journey I've been on with several others
Some of us are exploring how social technologies like #hylo (cc @tibetsprague) can support "#prosocial coordination for a thriving planet":
https://medium.com/terran-collective/co-evolving-technology-and-a-culture-of-stewardship-our-plans-for-hylo-beacb4fdb3eeOur work draws partly on evolutionary principles. Including the role #Ostrom's "core design principles" can play in facilitating multi-level or #GroupSelection & subsequent #MajorEvolutionaryTransitions

"what do you consider the bedrock behaviors that bootstrap #prosocial values?"
Huge question!
Off the top of my head?
1. Assume #goodfaith, until clearly proven otherwise.
2. If asked a question: answer it clearly & as helpfully as possible, avoid treating questions like statements w/ hidden meanings.
3. Ask, don't assume.
4. Don't work alone, don't make big decisions impacting many people alone. Consensus is worth the work.
5. Have a clear vision that excites everyone. -
@Amcneely What are the benefits of using #PostNews?
Post News is yet another private platform run/funded by corrupt #capitalists with a track record of seeking to control & exploit user behavior & data, which is proving fundamentally #antisocial and destructive to #Life and #Nature.
Seems #Mastodon #Fediverse are superior #prosocial models for #humanity #humansociety and #socialmedia

There is #NoAlgorithm at #Mastodon to feed posts into your timeline...if someone does not #Follow widely, they will see their timeline grind to a halt.
#Boosts are more important than #favorites .#Boosting sends variety throughout your #Follower network. People who only blabber their own posts but don't mutually #boost others risk getting closed out of circulation.
The true definition of Social Network.

@donaldball @ianbetteridge @cstross @pluralistic Executive corporate culture is similar to prison in that the population of both is about 20% on the psychopath spectrum. https://www.businessinsider.com/1-in-5-ceos-are-psychopaths-according-to-a-new-study-2016-9?op=1 This is the world that #AI is coming of age in, and will inherit or increasingly take over analysis and decision-making from humans - will it do worse?

Is it too late for an #introduction for my first toot?!
I'm Jo, a postdoc in the Social Decision Neuroscience Lab (led by @thepsychologist) @thechbh Uni of Birmingham, UK.
I use techniques from #cognitiveneuroscience #socialneuroscience like #fMRI and #computational #modelling to understand #prosocial #decision-making and #kindness plus how these choices differ with #age across the #lifespan
Think that's enough hashtags for now, I can't believe there are still characters left!
