Bluesky has done the right thing and restored the post: "This was a case of our moderators applying the policy for non-consensual AI content strictly. After re-evaluating the newsworthy context, the moderation team is reinstating those posts."

Plus, platforms like @ghost.org, @buttondown.com, and @wordpress.org embracing open social protocols means they'll have the "native" discovery aspect of Substack, too. The difference is that their implementation won't be in a silo, it'll be across platforms, and you'll own your audience completely.

Another CBC fail. Heather Hiscox having a small talk about voter turnout & accessibility issues to vote in this year's provincial election and ZERO mention about the right to vote from home. Fucking ableist. You have a responsibility CBC. Oof.

If you're unable to get to a voting centre, Ontario election laws state you can vote from home. An election official will a do a home visit. Today is the last day to request to vote from home. This is your right. Do not allow Doug Ford to disenfranchise you. Your vote matters. #OnPoli #Election

I think all social apps should offer the option to reorder the comment/like/repost UI elements to your own preference.. switching between apps makes the muscle memory a nightmare when they're all different

What are Ontario NDP leader @maritstilesndp.bsky.social plans for Ontario? Can she unseat Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives? And how does the NDP distinguish itself from Bonnie Crombie's Liberals? She spoke with @spaikin.bsky.social. #onpoli

No matter the good they provide they are built on theft, they are morally bankrupt tools derived from stealing. Maybe if they had actually secured rights, and permissions to ingest and train their models, but they didn't. if the product couldn't exist without theft it didn't deserve to exist at all

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.
