#Hashtags are great. They're not "cool" anymore, and idiots abuse them; but they enable platforms to be self-organized by the users without much tech skill.
With all of the anarchists etc. here, that kind of grass-roots understanding should be implicit.
#Trending #tags are BOTH crucial and dangerous. #Trends bring people into conversations, help onboard new users, and keep people coming back.
But harassment and abuse need to be fought at the platform level.
How can we have BOTH?
The best way to fight the power of Facebook is probably not to just #deletefacebook, but to subvert it.
Facebook works by letting you use it for free, in exchange for using your data commercially.
It survives because people keep using it for personal purposes, which it can then sell.
If you want to fight that, use your personal Facebook account for exclusively commercial purposes, without buying advertising. Promote your business, post affiliate links, and avoid it for anything personal.
Javascript programmers, do you use `eslint`? pay attention to this:

BREAKING: In a huge victory, the European Parliament has voted 318-278 against #Article13 and #Article11—the disastrous #CensorshipMachine and #LinkTax copyright proposals.
That means we’re close to stopping these terrible proposals—and we’re gaining momentum.

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
Holy shit! Bitcoin now consumes 1 MWh per transaction. That's more energy than I have ever spent in a month.

Because of the #youtube ban, #blender foundation is now testing #peertube as a video distribution model https://video.blender.org/
It's now Day 4 of Blender's videos being taken down by YouTube's content filter without explanation.
YT/Google has total control over who sees Blender's content, and there is no way for Blender to do anything about this.
#Article13 would mean automated content filters like this across the whole internet, controlled by large corporations.
Don't let this happen. Please PLEASE call/email your MEP to reject #Article13 today. The vote is tomorrow.
