@mikestevens nothing specific. But we occasionally get reports of people asking for help. Just putting it out there.

One of the things that I'm still acclimating to on the Fediverse is restored faith in moderation. Not that it's a panacea, but with fewer perverse incentives we can have a bit more trust that bad actors, i.e. grifters in the context of crowdfunding and mutual aid, will be dealt with.

There was related discourse several weeks back about self-promotion.

TL;DR — policing regular folks trying to get by isn't the solution to systemic problems that we might imagine it is

One of my recent missteps I tried policing an independent journalist who was promoting their substack:

mas.to/@nberlat/10988366102648

The broader problem that I wanted to critique was maybe valid, but my hypervigilance resulted in friendly fire when I decided to hang my argument off of Noah's reasonable self promotion.
