This sort of rhetoric makes Paul Ruebens sound like Noam Chomsky.

How about this: take the filter, leave the community. Start a new one.

I'm a little disappointed that this isn't a separate platform. But it is bee-yoo-tee-ful and I dig the categorization.

For curiosity's sake—not criticism—how accurate is the Pangram score? If this is AI assisted at all then what was the authoring process like?

It's funny how the appeal/aesthetic to these environments is almost the exact inverse of "liminal spaces".

I figure they're either using a loose interpretation of "decentralized" or an honest interpretation of "community".

Good question...

Maybe the author of the actual blog post had different intentions in sharing the Mastodon post than the author of the Mastodon post did. But the Mastodon post was made in response to the event that the blog post attempts to separate itself from. It's a reasonable thing to do if you're more interested in the technical issue and not the political one that the technical issue is being compared to.

But the context of the original post is meant to respond to a (techno-)political issue. This can explain why the post's rhetoric comes across as hyperbolic.

It doesn't help that UX seems to be talked about in ways that borrow the rhetoric of ethics from other disciplines like law and healthcare.
