Also because likely this letter is going to bring out a lot of people with questions about accounts from Gaza, here is a link to my FAQ about these accounts, this and much more information can be found in my pinned post. I also am more than willing to answer any good faith questions you may have.

Special thanks to everyone who reviewed, revised, shared and signed on early to this letter but huge thanks to Alaa Salim who from Gaza reviewed and then translated it into Arabic so that it could be shared among our Palestinian friends. You can help Alaa here: chuffed.org/project/1252...

Also I apologize the alt text is cropping off but the full text of every screenshot is in the letter.

Please sign and share this letter widely and call on @bsky.app, @safety.bsky.app, @support.bsky.team, @jay.bsky.team and @aaron.bsky.team to do better by their most vulnerable users.

تتوفر هذه الرسالة حول معاملة سكان غزة أيضًا على موقع Blue Sky باللغة العربية ويمكنك التوقيع عليها هنا: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Here are the current 246 signatories of this letter. We are all active Bluesky users, many of us from Gaza but most of us are not. We all however think this app is a better place when the voices of Palestinians in Gaza are heard. Add your own name here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Listening to investigative journalism podcasts from the BBC is such an odd experience. They’re in-depth and meticulous in their research and every episode is like 13 minutes long so just as you’re settling into it you get ‘to find out what happens next, join us next week …’

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

@netflix.com What do I have to do to get you to charge my card like normal instead of getting constant nudges to update my payment method when there’s nothing wrong with it? If I try to reconfirm (or put in a different card) I get a constant loop of invalid card number messages.

This story about ChatGPT causing people to have harmful delusions has mind-blowing anecdotes. It's an important, alarming read.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing
