We are under siege by an army of Paul Blarts that all think they are Judge Dredds

Also, @jay.bsky.team needs to be made to understand that her company has been in violation of their charter and Delaware law ever since she and @aaron.bsky.team explicitly allowed Jesse Singal to harrass, dox, and threaten trans women on this site. A class action lawsuit is in order.

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

I also don't understand how Link can get banned for being disruptive but Jesse Singal can't? didn't Singal join and immediately start directing cross-platform harassment towards numeroys trans users? it all looks like incredibly uneven moderation

Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

Banning Link, one of BlueSky's most prolific Black users, over the CEOs crash out defending her pet transphobes is totally unsurprising but still disappointing. Someone should tell the team that the social media utopia for white moderates already exists and it isn't here.

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

I miss when oligarchs tried to launder their reputations by building giant museums or some shit rather than trying to build themselves a personalized propaganda network

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home. Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

WIC runs out this week

Your 92yo Grandma can just get a job instead.

You can now be banned for "Being disruptive to other users" yeah thats definitely going to be enforced consistently

At this point, the entire republican party are traitors to the country.

Oregon Republicans know they can't use an image of the actual (small, tame) protest in Portland to illustrate Trump's fever dream and their fake intel, so they had to make one from stock photos of South American "Policia" leaning on riot shields + what looks like Brazilian football fans with flares

So let me get this today’s drama right: * Jay followed noted transphobe Jonathan Chait * Blacksky user Link pointed that out that’s fucked up after the past week * Link was banned on Blueskys appview presumably by Jay * But Link is also hidden from Blacksky b/c it still uses said appview

People who whine about leftist echo chambers don’t actually care whether a space is an echo chamber. They just don’t like that it’s not echoing specifically their views. It’s akin to showing up to a pride parade and being mad that nobody’s willing to hear you out on “biological reality”

It's pathetic as fuck how many "leftists" hear/read "get militant" and think it means to go shoot shit up. Uneducated reactionary dumbfucks.

I'm not buying this "LLM-AI sentience" bullshit *pre*-*/cisely/* because if I give any thought to it at all then that means accepting that you're creating life solely to exploit for labor. And I don't think you want to get me started on that.

In absence of official moderation explanations, this might have been the one that got me clapped. Shame I wasn't bluffing.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app once again, yall are banning people for posts that are not against the TOS, what's up with that? Marginalized people criticizing AI is against the rules now? Yet Jesse Singal still gets to roam free?

wizard frog is insane

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

A very fashionable jackal drone! You too can look like this!!! All you need to do is give in…🖤🖤✨ For @relorian.bsky.social

The largest company in the world by value is A FUCKING GRAPHICS CARD MANUFACTURER this is a fucking sick joke and the punchline is either us or them

There's literally a subprime car loan crisis going on, two automotive finance companies went bankrupt in the last few weeks, been a rash of squeamish headlines about private equity and finance, high-interest buy now pay later schemes for GROCERIES and medical bills have become a massive industry

This discourse is ancient history but the comic needed to be finished

I will add that I have never been in a "white people breakout group" that didn't end up with white people reinforcing each other's bad shit. Even and actually especially in "racial justice" contexts

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

They’re secret MAGA 4th Reich enforcers/terrorizers, and are above the law. One of our best defenses is identifying and exposing these people to their community. Record everything about them, esp vehicles and voices. Create local networks and sites to help ID them and share that info.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

A particularly insidious but common pitfall of community moderation is an understandable but wrong insistence on running things via strict adherence to a set of guidelines. This never actually works in practice because you end up with a bunch of bad faith actors constantly testing boundaries.

BRB, pitching this to Dreamworks as an animated feature

There’s a better argument for your average cat or dog being sapient in the same way we are then a fucking LLM.

A fat guy being calm and collected will always defeat a jock.

... probably not the worst thing in the world if ICE decides to pick a fight with every local PD even though most cops are likely very sympathetic to the admin the combination of "this is our turf" and "stop gassing me, fuckface" is a powerful one

The bans on this app remind me of when I used to moderate a fighting game forum when I was like 14 years old. I had a hair trigger I was like Off With His Head but I’m better now I grew up I’m almost 44 now.
