What the absolute fuck @support.bsky.team? Either you want community moderation of you want robust internal team moderation. You can’t go with “lol neither”

I don't repost stuff like this frequently, but Theropod is one of the nicest, kindest, hilarious person I have ever met. This is a horrible emergency, and Thero has been taking excellent care of Beanbag for many years. Uromastyx live to up to 60 years, and he is only 5 years old. Anything helps.

Something to do if you've got spoons to spare

wizard frog is insane

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data. Including some users passports & DLs Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic. Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite. To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

Please help a good friend of mine help his good friend Beanbag! Every little bit helps, so please consider donating if you can.

"The American people are capable of turning the tide against repression even if that feels hopeless...the history of the first red scare teaches us that a better future is possible and worth fighting for." Nice @davidrlurie.bsky.social historical meditation here: www.publicnotice.co/p/emma-goldm...

So, a month ago, Crunchyroll got virtually jumped on here for using AI for their subtitles, just for them to recently replace the AI they were using with another AI that's from AN ISRAELI COMPANY. It's bad enough you was using AI but now you're using AI that came from ISRAEL?! Delete your account

I read all the Bluesky moderator staff posts in his voice

My players got hit with a clown car today. Those poor clowns

Corporations run the world. People are dying in the streets. Even the air we breath, the food we eat, the lifegiving water we NEED are all corrupted. In a world of death, how far would you go to save a life? Cyberpunk: All Saints Die Saturdays through October

tl;dr TOS and user bans are kept squishy and nonspecific to give sites wiggle room to selectively apply the rules (favoring celebrities, for example). The CEO wading in and shrieking that it is THEIR decision! THEIRS! You will not bully them! takes that fig leaf away and gives ownership to the CEO.

THERE THEY ARE! THERE'S MY TIEFLING!

is it weird the biggest appeal of becoming a semi popular streamer is having enough folks for a Marbles on Stream game?

Spending the first Saturday of October playing the original Resident Evil for the first time! If I beat it before the end of the night, I'll start Resident Evil 2 (the original)! twitch.tv/brawlkaiser

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday! #art

AND WE'RE LIVE! Talking about where I've been, what's happening, and what's going to happen! Quick stream just to get myself back onto the wagon LINK: www.twitch.tv/zakoduo

Post so much that everyone, no matter who they follow, learns of the problem. Post your freaky art more so they need to up their moderator count, making them hemorrhage more money (tag it, though, for your fellow users—they'll still need a mod to check it anyhow for the new TOS). Be loud.

BlueSky does not currently have advertising or any real monetization. Doing a boycott/blackout will have absolutely no impact on them due to this, other than users who would be impacted by the censoring doing the work for them. The real way to impact would be to post more. Trend. Make them moderate

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one. A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed] Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation

you know kept getting random friend requests on Discord from this owl and then got the notification from Discord about possibly getting that and it felt like the thing was stalking me

Hey streamer pals, go to viewer rewards on your creator dashboard and turn off this stupid AI company collaboration

Reading articles about ICE in Chicago. The whole thing is fucked up and brutal but this line will stand out for the rest of my life "In one room, there were zip tied and blood stains on the floor next to baby shoes" But we can't call them nazis or fascists or neo confederates for some reason.

Bluesky mods whenever they're confronted about bigots starting harassment campaigns on their platform:

Now’s a great time to cancel Paramount Plus if you haven’t already. They still haven’t reinstated Colbert who was cancelled for rightfully pointing out that CBS took a bribe. They bent a knee. Now they’ve made Bari Weiss, notorious misinformation spreader, the head of CBS News. Cancel. Now.

#hades2spoiler #hades2 #art Thats it, thats the game after an amount of runs

Witha alt text

This is just so, so grim. This is all just completely out of the Elon Musk playbook and I’m so tired. Launching a “let’s make the internet less toxic” campaign by spitting in the faces of your own users is some real dark shit.

Unfollowed Jay and Paul because I don't need that!

...why not keep it going?

So yes, Jay is acting like an unprofessional brat. *Because you all keep pushing back against them.* Members of staff are lashing out. *Because you keep showing you're pissed.* These battles aren't won immediately, you need to grind them down into giving up. And since it's wearing on them...

The moment that you believe the battle is lost, it is. And this doesn't just apply for the Pro-Censorship stuff- It applies to how you respond to your government and their actions. It applies to shitty decisions made by companies. Fuck. It even applies here, with BlueSky pushing for censorship.

fuck ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/ tbsnetwork.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

hey I'm back btw

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Y'ALL I AM SO EXCITED TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THIS!! You can hear me as the voice of Sokka in #Nicktoons&TheDiceofDestiny! Available now for Steam, Epic, and all major consoles! There aren't enough words to describe how special this is for me, but there are some below:

Last stream of September! Continuing Look Outside & Hades 2! twitch.tv/brawlkaiser

I’ll fight to raise wages, feed hungry kids, reopen hospitals, take homes back from corporations, and invest in small businesses. It’s time to build a movement that will change who represents us and fight for a Georgia we can afford! Join our movement at ruwaforgeorgia.com

Something I do want folks to know about this situation with BlueSky- It is, in essence, the exact same as the one with MasterCard / Visa. And just like with the payment processors, the best thing for us to do is to become tremendous pains in the ass. Make them miserable. Ruin their ratings.
