I'm excited to share my #apconf2020 talk, "Decentralized Social Media vs the Trolls."
In it, I tell how the #Fediverse, a #decentralized social network, rallied together to isolate an invasive right wing extremist group through codes of conduct, human moderators, and strong moderation tools.
Thanks to @ashfurrow, @emi, @maffsie, @catgirl, @laurelai and all the folks who gave me their time and perspective.

@Argus @ashfurrow @emi @maffsie @laurelai Do you see trolls as the biggest problem with centralised SN's like twitter, as opposed to banning, over-connectedness or some other attribute?
@joegrimer @Argus @emi @maffsie @laurelai there isn’t a single biggest problem with centralized SN’s imo. they are an amalgamation of many problems, they have become more problematic than the sum of those individual problems. they are per se a big problem, if I’m making sense.
@Argus @ashfurrow that makes sense. I'm not sure that I agree that all problems are equal (as they rarely are in other contexts). What do you mean by PoC fediverse users?
What one problem with D-SN's springs to mind?
@joegrimer @Argus I didn’t mean to suggest all problems were equal. What I mean is, I don’t personally find it productive to think about one single largest problem to fix. The networks themselves are the problem, for a host of interconnected reasons.
@joegrimer POC = "people of color".
