I really like the concept of noticing "greyed out options": perfectly reasonable if sometimes wacky things that you can do in a situation but that you accidentally treat as unavailable, like a greyed out option in a dialog box in software.
Once you start noticing them, you unlock a whole lot of self-awareness.
An example tonight from a moderation decision: someone who's kind of a jerk and often gets their messages blocked on the forum, and it's never quite over the line but often borderline. Do we ban the person or not?
Wait: there's a third option! We can send them a message and tell 'em to knock it off and contribute better.
Unlocking that not only gets you a lot more information as a moderator to decide whether to keep someone, but also gives them the opportunity to change their behavior.

The headline is wrong. It's supposed to say "pervert glasses." I thought we all already agreed to that.

Meta just created a moderation nightmare for its smart glasses
After public backlash, Instagram is banning some content filmed using Meta’s smart glasses. Enforcing the rules will be difficult.

AI Self-preferencing in Algorithmic Hiring: Empirical Evidence and Insights
As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become widely adopted, large language models (LLMs) are increasingly involved on both sides of decision-making processes, ranging from hiring to content moderation. This dual adoption raises a critical question: do LLMs systematically favor content that resembles their own outputs? Prior research in computer science has identified self-preference bias -- the tendency of LLMs to favor their own generated content -- but its real-world implications have not be…

Folks, I'm curious.
Over on Bluesky I was bragging about the warm and welcoming attitude to trans people that I have noticed on the Fediverse, and was attacked by a couple of people with obvious mental health problems, but also one polite and rational person who sent me this link, to a 3 year old blog.
It's loooooooog. But skim-reading it, it is detailing some weird bunch who purportedly were/are(?) taking over moderation in the Fedi.
Anyone even heard of this?

You cannot "just ignore them." That is how you destroy a community. Moderation is always necessary.

Am Wochenende habe ich bei in einer „echten“ Location bei einer Show moderiert, für die man Eintritt zahlt. Und sage: Uff.
Anstrengend.
Ich habe ja das Gefühl, dass Moderation mein Ding ist, aber danach fühlte es sich nicht an.
Nach der Pause vergaß ich vor lauter Stress, die Spielenden (die im Backstage saßen) auf die Bühne zu holen – merkte es aber zum Glück schnell. Danach dachte ich nur noch: „Mama, ich will nach Hause!“ Ging aber leider nicht; ich musste da durch. 1/2…
