Going back to 1996 today for maybe my favorite KMFDM album all the way through, Xtort. My other favorites are Nihil and Symbols (I'm partial to 90s KMFDM) but Xtort is utter perfection. This playlist leaves off the perverse last (secret) track 'Fairy', but I'll let it slide. Worth looking up if you haven't heard it 😂

I don’t consider myself a Gleek, but I do like quite a lot of songs featured in the TV show #Glee. And among the numerous covers, one that is in my top favorites is Chris Colfer’s rendition of The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand”. The original upbeat love song becomes this sl…
As many of you know, I very much enjoy classical music. I have many favorites. One of those is the William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini – a portion of which was used at the as the theme music for the TV series “The Lone Ranger” in the 50’s and 60’s.
Recently I encountered a concert hall version of this piece that took a very entertaining approach to that classical work. For those of you who remember The Lone Ranger (and everyone else as well) I encourage you to click on the embedded link – to both enjoy the music as well as the humor.

Horace Tapscott - "The Tapscott Sessions, Vol. 6" (1983)
One of my favorites in this series. Wish I could find a link.

I went to see my neighbor who is a bus driver.
He spent roughly an hour explaining which of his favorite Smetana/Janacek/Dvorak pieces are favorites of his passengers and how he doesn’t dare to play them the favorite opera pieces but he feels deprived of them so he has to listen while commuting to the work (on a bike of course).
This was more culture talk than with the sum of my tech friends in the last three years, particularly if you include the genAI crew.

Well... that is... nowhere near as fun/clever/catchy as the song it's following up on, huh. (I'm sure this album will have different favorites for me though.)

I can't watch videos on a sports news website because they won't play without showing the ads first. I open the app for that website and they still won't play because I use pfBlocker-NG on pfSense to block the ads.

@… Definitely. I know a very talented singer-songwriter in the Washington DC area who has released 3 CDs and has a devoted but very small following. Her last CD was probably 9 years ago and it's still one of my favorites.
When I favorite I am giving a like. I'm not looking for it to be added to any specific list...or if it's going to be added to a list please let me organize it.

Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, was born today (March 2) in 1904. Growing up in the 80s, Seuss books were huge for me. I'm still a massive fan, and have a decent amount of Seuss collectibles 😂
My wife asked the other day what my favorites of his are, and I'd never thought about it. I love all of em from Cats to Fish, but for me, it's these two. I read these CONSTANTLY as a kid.

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.
