Lamine Yamal! Nothing to add.

I want to read every paper centred on Trust and Safety presented at #CHI2025

Thrilled to be at the CHI conference this week where PhD student @schafer.bsky.social will present our paper — co-authored w/ Rachel Moran (1st author) & @mertcanbayar.bsky.social — titled, "The End of Trust and Safety?" dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Meta has gone to great lengths to hide its content moderation operation, where workers are tasked with reviewing disturbing content Workers say they were instructed to tell no one, not even their families, about the nature of their work (1/4) www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Those who sold globalization to the world are suddenly against the very idea they forced down people's throats.

The Sky is Blue even on Bluesky.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

If they explain Kai Harvertz to you, you won't get it. You have to witness it. And the assist and that miss are the perfect description of a player with so much potential but incredibly inconsistent.

by the time the public realises the havoc these charlatans are causing, it'll probably be too late to do anything about it (if anyone is capable or powerful enough to do anything at all) futurism.com/openai-signs...

I still have pain in my heart. Twitter culture war everything before Elon.

You know how we talk about IBM, Siemens, VW, ThyssenKrupp, et al and their complicity and support for the Holocaust? This is our version of that. Drag them all into the light.

“The owner of a small restaurant is held accountable if their food poisons customers. Social media tycoons should be held accountable if their algorithms poison our societies.” www.politico.eu/article/spai...

This may be our first case in Trump 2.0 where Congress and the courts say one thing and then Trump just does whatever he wants

Angertainment is a great way to describe the emotional experience most social media platforms are optimizing for.

From my experience, if an SM platform is new you actually want those behind it to take their time to build the moderation processes and team. Moving fast and breaking things is how others got it wrong. #T&S

Long quiet drives.

I literally thought this was his plan all along.

I just started S1 #Severance. Let's see how it goes.

I guess I should watch S1 of Severance, seeing the attention the S2 is getting.

How does one optimize their feed to only see recent post first on this app?

Old enough to remember that TikTok isn't even close to the first technology ban

The Biden administration won't do anything about TikTok on the one day it could do something about TikTok. If the app's that big a threat, as they said for years, how to explain this? apnews.com/article/tikt...

The potential TikTok ban is such a senseless move. Millions of young Americans rely on that app for their livelihood. In addition to the thousands in formal employment on the company. That's just jobs down the drain.

Winter is such a depressing period. If one is used to the sun, their energy just goes from 100 to zero.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Taking the so-called easy way out in the TikTok ban case would be a mistake that would harm free speech online for everyone and violate decades-old Supreme Court precedent, argues Caitlin Vogus, a senior advisor for advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation and a First Amendment attorney.

This whole thread is worth a close read.

Regulation matters

Mark Zuckerberg: I built this platform to give the people a voice Me: okay but actually you built it to rate how hot the woman at your school were

Last Christmas we gave Bluesky a logo. This Christmas we give you trending topics 📈
