Hello list!
I have written a short piece on how online communities are using algorithmic tools to address issues of gender inequality, harassment, and more in general how to create more inclusive environments online. And since I know this is a topic has been discussed before here, I thought some of you may be interested in reading it:
https://theconversation.com/can-online-gaming-ditch-its-sexist-ways-74493
The main topic is the online gaming platform Twitch, which is sadly in the news for yet another episode of harassment, but I mention Wikipedia and some of the initiatives to create more inclusive spaces (e.g. Teahouse).
Any feedback is really appreciated. Cheers!
Giovanni
Hi Giovanni,
Thanks for sharing. In the article, you mention the WMF's work with Detox -- we have a related program that you might also find interesting.
