You know what *really* pisses me off about Eugen's announcement?

That he *knows* that this is a sensitive topic, and yet he couldn't be fucked to include any details about whether it will, for instance, respect consent.

fuck i thought this implementation would be easy but i have to do actual code architecting aaaa

I did find an article by the same author which is very interesting as well,
Drivers of Disruption: How Jakarta's Mobility Platform Drivers Understand, Transform
and Resist the Algorithms that Manage Them [(Qadri, 2022)](dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/1)

@steph@toot.party yeah not sure either, it was submitted to that conference but not sure about elsewhere

:boosts_ok_gay:​ Unfortunately wasn't able to find the full text for this anywhere, even sci-hub etc just have a single-page pdf with just the abstract. Emailed the author, but if anyone could find it that'd be greatly appreciated! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3375627

Found after one of the passages in the article ["Algorithmized but not Atomized? How Digital Platforms Engender New Forms of Worker Solidarity in Jakarta" (Qadri, 2020)](dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/337)

Which analyses 'tuyul apps', third-party apps that enhance the gigworker's official apps in favor of the workers

ahh also found the article I read recently that highlights some of the digital challenges modern unionization faces pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/alg

:boosts_ok_gay:​ Research on digital unions 

I'm looking for research on union(like) structures made possible by digitalization, surely this presents opportunity for novel ways to organize, different from the standard union model.

But I'm having a hard time finding info on this, or why it has/hasn't worked out (yet)

@tastytea@very.tastytea.de apparently it's used "by some older speakers" lol, I think laundromat is more common, it's a genericized trademark

> Our digital tools are new, the forms of work that they mediate are new, and many of
the challenges they raise are new. But, in a world where the atomization of work continues
to be used against digital workers, let’s not forget an old rallying cry that has served us well:
workers of the world, unite

> [B]uilding on Gina Neff’s work so that this so-called ‘venture labour’ -the “explicit expression of entrepreneurial values by non-entrepreneurs" does not become the norm. In other words, workers recognizing that they
are receiving all of the risks of entrepreneurship, but few of the rewards

> But if people see themselves as workers rather than entrepreneurs, then we have more possibilities for workers to collaborative attempt to help each other through cooperative horizontal relations

this is why everyone that calls themselves an "entrepreneur" is not to be trusted tbh

@erincandescent@queer.af I guess so, but those would still pose a challenge for anything that restricts replies, like a 'reply proxy'. You're essentially creating a second type of blocklist/allowlist for replies, with the same challenges as federation block/allowlists?

@erincandescent@queer.af while I definitely agree with the need for more fine-grained control, is the use-case for automatic approval not already handled by enabling authorized fetch?
