So many of the absolute worst accounts I suspend should *never* have gotten past signup 😮💨
If your username contains a slur, hate-speech, or a well-known troll or dogwhistle reference, then it is a failure of your moderators and administration if that account ever sees the light of day.
If someone walks into your instance doing a Nazi salute and you don't slam the door in their face *hard* then you've let your community down.
I'm looking at you mastodon.social, mas.to, vivaldi.net, ...

@alice Can you tell me any more info about social.vivaldi.net moderation issues? (it's fine if not - please ignore us if it is better for you)
I keep hearing rumours that are just allegations of bad moderation without any detail.
And I have seen vivaldi actually ban a user I reported before for dog whistles.

It's even worse if their instance software already has the tools to catch this stuff

@alice be careful of the Scunthorpe problem -
@shironeko yup.

I was going to comment about that, but from https://pizza.enby.city/users/domo/statuses/115328690748595820 it would seem you can put the flagged user name choices under moderation so a human can check if it's an actual fash/troll or just an unfortunate Scunthorpe.

I wonder how many times it's possible to be wrong in sequence about the same thing.
In my last blog post about tilings and finite-state transducers, I mentioned making a mistake about the Ammann-Beenker tiling. I had a description of it in my software, and I had believed it didn't admit a deterministic transducer, because my code reported failure when trying to construct one. But I later found out that it did: my construction algorithm had an overzealous failure detector, and had given up too soon.
But it turns out I was right the first time, if for the wrong reasons. It _doesn't_ admit a transducer after all, because I _also_ got the tiling description slightly wrong!
The Ammann-Beenker rhombus tile is 180° symmetric, but its orientation matters nonetheless (it forms part of the proof of aperiodicity). My description of the tiling had the rhombuses wrongly oriented, in a way that – as it turns out – made the system accidentally simpler.
The first picture here is the Ammann-Beenker analogue of the Penrose 'cartwheel pattern': a singular instance of the tiling, having the symmetry group of a regular octagon _except_ for the dark-coloured tiles, of which the blue ones vary their shape under rotation by some multiple of 45°, and the red ones keep the same shape but change orientation.
The second picture is the same pattern, but generated using my earlier wrong description of the tiling. Because I got some of the rhombus orientations wrong, the red tiles are in much weirder places. _That_ diagram has been puzzling me for a week, until I figured out last night what mistake had caused it!
Oh well, at least I got some pretty pictures out of it.

@tommi @fraxinas I'm so impressed with your decision to stand by your values. It's incredibly sad that it has come to this, with all the valuable work that you do. 😔
I hope that Framework will finally listen.

@desideria Ci sta. Ma sto parlando di un'altra cosa.
