More than Twitter. Less than Mastodon. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for thank you!

Nothing clever to say except that this is fascinating and it would be cool to see mmorpg-like environments for other studies of virality, social phenomena etc. Anyone know of anything else like this?

Good news, but does someone more knowleagable of these things know the likelihood of a Trump DOJ derailing this? I am hopefully as the original case was brought in 2017 under Trump, and his relationship with Big Tech is at best strained, but I truly don't know what to expect moving forward.

Me. There's just an irony in pointing out the failure of Steam to effectively moderate (true) when Twitter has a much larger footprint, seems to be actively encouraging hate speech not just tolerating it, and is being rewardered for such behavior. The article points this out too:

There's an aspect of irony to the complaint: Elon Musk turned Twitter into a haven for racism and far-right rhetoric, after all, and he's being rewarded with a high seat in the incoming US government.

Senators only have so much time to pick and choose which issues to raise awareness about, so Steam seems like a weird fight to pick given the wider landscape ¯_(ツ)_/¯ . Could just be there's a much higher chance of getting an actual change from Steam than a larger social media platform.

Not to excuse any hate speech of any kind, but looking around at social media and the effect it has especially on young people and saying "steam forums are the problem" seems like missing the forest for the trees

Conflicted about up voting in c/nottheonion because this IS the Onion

Sigh I hope LLMs get dropped from the AI bandwagon because I do think they have some really cool use cases and love just running my little local models. Cut government spending like a madman, write the next great American novel, or eliminate actual jobs are not those use cases.

Look I've bopped around bsky and do enjoy it. Wish Mastodon had picked up the eXodus but bsky isn't the worst alternative.

Really hoping we get past the point where day old accounts are saying "bluesky is such a BREATH of FRESH AIR". I would think so too though if I was breathing whatever is coming out of of Twitter up until now...
