This kind of came a bit unexpectedly today, but I have a new article out:
https://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/article/view/1556
It focuses on those most controversial moderation tools on the #fediverse: #blocklists. I consider the philosophy and practice of listing to argue that those who run blocklist services work hard to mitigate their problems.
I also make a case that we simply need more scholarship on content moderation on #noncentralized, noncommercial social media.
