okay bye ig

it turns out Bluesky saying “the company is a future adversary” was a promise, not a warning.

i think Trust & Safety’s decision today makes a lot of sense if Bluesky’s leadership likes Jesse Singal more than they like women’s safety.

I'd rather every trans person on here feel safe than Jesse Singal feel like he's right

i’m doing my part 🏳️‍⚧️🫡

Bluesky will gladly blood sacrifice the users that made this place cool enough to bring everyone else. It means this place will diminish, and I guess it should.

heck of a one-two punch here

for a new head of trust & safety i nominate this sack of rocks i found. it’s a burlap sack. the rocks are ok, nothing special. should be an improvement

ITS SO DUMB. 20000 SIGNATURES. VS A BIGOTED PEDOPHILE. THEY CHOSE BIGOTED PEDOPHILE OVER 20000 PEOPLE

OpenAI whistleblower was found dead 😟 "Balaji argued OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT. If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company” www.dailylocal.com/2024/12/13/o...

Bluesky wrote a rule for the special purpose of letting Singal keep doing this.

Some skeptics are decrying vibes based moderation, and yes, some loud voices right now will be the first to go "no, no, not like that" when such a standard is applied to one of *their* friends. But. Singal stands out, even so, as a pretty clear-cut case of platform manipulation.

"Welcome to Bluesky! Trans labor welcome. Trans demands for dignity and recognition of our humanity? Fuck off."

fuck this app and fuck my life goodbye ig.

if arguing online changed anything we'd all be running Linux

a large number of users are only getting loud here because of total inaction by BlueSky against a man who makes a lot of money off of serially harassing women. this is objectively rancid behavior from Trust & Safety & i’m quickly losing any confidence i had in their ability to govern.

if you also care about bluesky’s future as a platform & women’s safety, please sign this petition. the Trust & Safety team still has time to do the right thing here for our community. 🏳️‍⚧️💖🏳️‍⚧️

yeah okay im giving it a week if jesse singal is still here by then im leaving i probably wont delete the account but im probably not coming back unless they really fix things

Boosting. Strict enforced moderation/Trust & Safety/anti-harassment on Bluesky was what made this better than Xitter. Bluesky has been silent on Jesse Singal in spite of overwhelming feedback from the trans community re: the harmful nature of his presence here. Report & block, in solidarity.

Tip from a long-time GM and worldbuilder; Being a criminal is not the same as being "evil". As a matter of fact, some of the most evil actions are declared acceptable by the word of law. Individuals in power can easily change said law to make their actions "legal". #TTRPG

Genuinely, my best advice for how to exist in this climate and avoid going insane with despair: find a crew you can work with. Find an organization, or a group of volunteers, or just some buddies, and find a way to move the needle in your area. Make something positive happen for people in need.

People need to understand that the techno fascists goal is not just to flood the zone with AI slop but to follow in the steps of other fascist regimes and destroy knowledge, not just obscure but destroy knowledge that is counter to their narrative and AI represents a uniquely powerful tool to do so.

This is why I'm so adamant on how all this transsexual vs transgender stuff, trannies vs enbies, trans women vs men, sissy discourse, etc. is not only a distraction but actively harmful. If the right is on the attack you must in fact keep up a united front! They will use any division against you

throw back to my second exam this morning where i tried to say "im gonna cry" and "im gonna scream" at the same time and ended up saying "im gonna cream"

if you want to share a website that is also a bluesky account, type the URL as you write the post @vite.dev so it expands, then go back and replace https by @ (done!): you'll get both the card expansion and the handle link. I don't think you'll see many explicit URLs in my posts from now on.

Couldn't have done it without you ADHD

bluesky meta: you can paste a URL, let it expand, then delete the URL. The expansion will still be there, you'll win back the URL chars, and you'll have a cleaner post. I'm a bit confused. Are there drawbacks I'm not seeing? Why we aren't all doing this?

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

good morning to every trans person & also cis friends willing to raise their voices to speak in support of us. Jesse Singal is not a journalist, he is a rightwing extremist. Read this thread if you still don’t understand why so many people object to him being here. Block Singal & DNI with him.

If swallowed, water beads can expand in a child's intestines and cause injuries or death. Do not gift water beads to young children this holiday season.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.

I've investigated the far-right, including as a journalist, over nearly two decades. No, it is absolutely not necessary to that work that one publicly follow horrific bigots on social media.

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Touching to have Spotify celebrate the 1-year anniversary of my layoff by demonstrating that they could not, in fact, still do Wrapped just as well without me.
