What happens on email lists is performative on the level of the structure;
with people leaving, the list can disappear. So you must have moderation.
There's another list I know of, for example, that deals with suicidal

The state prosecuting people for what they post on Facebook is a matter
of free speech.
An admin banning someone who disrupts a mailing list is not.

I don’t trouble myself with a divide. it’s a very artificial way to look at
what we naturally do awkwardly -

It’s all real and unreal on various degree to me.
Communication technology is just what it is - tech.
Performance happens in a shared space, the shared space of the

In our culture, at least in the US, frontal male nudity is constantly
censored; it's overdetermined in far too many directions.
