How do I file an abuse report against an AT protocol auto-labeller? The system has labelled me "very mad" but I'm not mad. I'm actually laughing.

This, a million times over. Turn the rude label off in settings if you want to see this content; tell your followers to turn it off in settings if you want them seeing this content. Easy.
I’m going to need the people who don’t understand why the “rude” label exist on here to go read about Gamergate
(I am not saying it’s a good implementation, I’m saying if you don’t understand the class of problems it seems to aim to solve you should think harder)

I know that people see “folks just want a break” as a political/social question, but longtime followers are gonna know where my pivot is: this is very much a technology issue!
if the telegram caused global news, and radio caused global human community, the Internet has functionally erased “breaks”

I think it is a real struggle for the modern moment, in that the push for progress over the centuries has mostly been done by people who were “existentially involved” in matters, but we have a baseline expectation that political life is not to be existentially demanding.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

The contrast is striking: In Europe, some individuals named in the Epstein files are facing consequences; in the U.S., public shame no longer operates as a meaningful deterrent, and consequences rarely follow.
