I'd love your feedback and suggestions.

Working my way up in local news, I met so many people traumatised by the work...
When it comes to supporting people in news, we could and should have done a lot better sooner.

Earlier this month I created a workshop about newsroom leadership and resiliency.

When Birdwatch was first proposed I worried about speed and if it would become a better indicator of political controversy than of true misinformation.
But I also believed it worth supporting as we knew centralised misinformation enforcement was a blunt tool to wield

When people ask me about my time at Twitter my usual response is “it was wild and I could write a book about it, but so could 3,000 other people.”
But you know what? I suspect only a handful of them were forged in equivalent fires. My concept of a stressful workplace situation has forever changed.

And so begins the era of AI deploying our most common logical fallacies to publicly debate politics with itself.
I know that AI is awful, yadda, yadda, etc., but @wongmjane.com came up with the perfect ChatGPT prompt if you're ever missing that authentic Twitter experience:

This is a pragmatic look at what could be possible when attempting moderation at scale.
I hope we also can start talking openly about platform incentives alongside sanitation.
It isn’t just the entry policy and bouncer that makes the bar- it’s the decor, music and hosted events too.

Wrote about content moderation questions, the "nazi bar" problem, impossible tradeoffs, & why I'm still kinda optimistic about how Bluesky/AT Protocol moderation could work: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/04/on-social-media-nazi-bars-tradeoffs-and-the-impossibility-of-content-moderation-at-scale/

It’s amazing how often “platform used by fewer people feels like nicer place to be” can be written as a news story.

Something I especially like about the vision for bsky moderation (https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-13-2023-moderation) is the (unstated) premise that all labels in the moderation service are fully public and visible/auditable by anyone.
That’s what transparency to build trust actually looks like.
