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:

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
