Data's Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I'm shocked it wasn't on Variety's list!

Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that's a sign it's time for a Voyager rewatch.

 

I was reading this list and after I calmed my rage (Because real fans would have a top 47...) I became curious to hear what other episodes might make a personal list.

You don't need to give a detailed rationale, I'm curious to know what episodes NOT on the linked list do you just kinda... Think Are Neat 🫴πŸ₯”?

I'll start with some of mine:

  • TOS - The Cloud Minders
  • TNG - Timescape
  • DS9 - The Magnificent Ferengi (how this one is not on the list I have no idea)

They're just neat!

Clapping

Absolutely Amazing work here. Tesseract should strongly be considered as a default UX.

I think the current methodology skews the data; consider that an instance federated with say, Hexbear, is probably going to have significantly more individual and community bans than an instance who only made 5-6 bans before recognizing the pattern and blocking the instance.

If the goal of this study is to see which places most aggressively moderate their content, you're actually getting somewhat of the reverse.

Wow this looks incredible

Very interesting stuff! Defederations should count as a ban of all instance users, imo.

We don't have a right to force other people to engage with us against their will. I must say I find it surprising that an "anarchist" would "agree to disagree" that "No means no".

But it's not ours. We can request someone else do something for us, but if they don't want to, and we continue making demands of someone else, then they have the right to stop interacting with us. That's not an attack and it doesn't cause injury.

But defederation is not something that be "threatened" because it's not an attack, it's a boundary. We don't have the right to control other people. If someone asks us to treat them a specific way and we choose not to, they have the right to walk away and without fear of harassment, just as we do.

I'm confused, we don't own them. We can't control what content someone else chooses to syndicate (or not) to their hard drive via the activitypub protocol.

Looking forward to the comments saying this true but good, actually.

 

Here's a TechCrunch article on the topic too.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.

My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.

 

Pretty freaky article, and it doesn't surprise me that chatbots could have this effect on some people more vulnerable to this sort of delusional thinking.

I also thought this was very interesting that even a subreddit full of die-hard AI evangelists (many of whom have an already religious-esque view of AI) would notice and identify a problem with this behavior.
