of course not. not even the company, KWS, per their terms, can assure you your data is safe. your data can and will be sold, or leaked if they aren't lying about not selling your information (which is probably a lie.)

Here's the State Budget, where this was passed, Page 655-658 (Ends paragraph 3.) search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/gener...

It is very obvious that this is less of a means to protect children and much more a project to collect sensitive user data to sell towards a facist government that wishes to silence opposing voices by all means. You are thus making your platform less safe for everyone.

Please resist this in every possible way. We all know this is intended to end anonymous accounts and undermine free speech. Just one more step towards fascism. I will never agree to providing ID. Age verification will end my participation on BlueSky.

Yeah, I don't trust any third party service with my ID. Kiss my ass. 🖕This totally won't back fire for the company. Worse case, I'll just fall back to Twitter.

1, why should a law made in the UK be affecting something within the US? Second, if they start applying age verification under the guise of user safety, I'll let them gladly delete my account. This was never to protect users let alone children.

It's better to shut down service to Ohio and require users to have to use a VPN, than to comply with these authoritarian overreaches into privacy.

I had learned on the 23rd that Hara Urara had died of Colic. They're the horse, aside from Gold Ship, whose stories I gravitated to the most. If not for Uma Musume Pretty Derby, I would never have gotten to learn about these wonderful horses. Fly high Haru. 🪽 #umamusume

My recent piece. Would post the image, but with AI scalping becoming more and more of a problem, I no longer feel safe posting without some security. Have to protect what you make, ya know. cara.app/post/8067d2f...

Tips for moving from Xitter to Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/joab...

Don't know how to block/mute action when it comes to Moderated Lists? Here is a quick tutorial how to by @spahn711.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/spah...

A thread of useful mods, moderated lists etc. that you can use across Bluesky to protect your space here from 🅰️ℹ️ stuff. I'll be updating this as I find more, so if you know of any that I haven't included, please let me know! Reposts are very welcome so more people know! [ #helpfulbskypost ]

🅰️ℹ️ Imagery Labeler - bsky mod that helps identify and hide such content from you. bsky.app/profile/aimo...

One of the reasons I changed my mind about going into a #gaming career. Indie's definitely the way to go nowadays: boundingintocomics.com/video-games/...

Another Moderated List blocking 🅰️ℹ️ accounts. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Reposting this one: Moderated List of 🅰️ℹ️ Posters RUN BY @aimod.social (same people who has developed Imagery Labeler) that you can subscribe to auto block/mute accounts on your behalf. If you have concerns regarding how this list function go to them. bsky.app/profile/aimo...

Discord has apparently added generative AI "apps" users can use to modify any image posted in any discord server. On by default, no way to disable them, no moderation tools. Fuck discord, support artists (discord sure doesn't).

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

Why would people choose to do unmentionable things to this poor Gardevoir when you could put it next to the front door of your apartment and have it menacingly glare down at everyone who enters

So no Weavile EX? for @mysticaidan.bsky.social

Always a good reminder: Your skill at social media is not equal to your skill as an artist. Higher follower number =/= better artist. Read more in my book How to Webcomic! https://thestarfishface.com/products/how-to-webcomic #art #webcomics

It’s so weird every time I see people talk about the “vtuber community” being so toxic. In my experience, most people have been very nice to me. I think there’s just some very loud bad eggs out there that people can’t look past.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to announce I have some adoptables for sale. They're all felines, each with their own pattern. You can find them both on my Toyhouse and Kofi. I take PayPal for payments. If you're interested, feel free to take a peek! toyhou.se/shadedshadow... ko-fi.com/shadedshadow...

Hey so just as a reminder, trans rights. I won’t allow any hatred towards anybody in my community. If you believe anything else, please say yourself out. Thank you.

You should put Ogerpon in the Friend Ball. It matches and she's friend. No! Put Ogerpon in the Luxury Ball cause she deserves luxury! #pokemon #pokemonscarlet #pokemonviolet

After 9 years of living in a terribly infested apartment, I am having to move and essentially start over. Any help would be amazing and no matter the amount, I'll be making a video thanking every single person that donates by name. Even just sharing means the world. Thank you! ko-fi.com/X8X7HJQLB

Hey everyone! I just opened up a shop on Kofi! I'm currently starting small, but I'm doing cheap priced character adopts as a start. However, if the demand is large, I'll make more in the future and possibly my own bases. ko-fi.com/shadedshadowmc #kofi #adoptables #digitalart #oc

I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.

Rambley meeting my character, Rory. Theme park mascot meets water resort mascot. ✨ #indigopark #sketch

Haven't really been working on too much. Life's been a bit stressful as of late. However, I do have some recent sketches. Two of them are WIP. ✨

Another artdump. ✨ Sorry I've not been too active. 💦

Slightly back into an old rabbit hole from years ago. So, here's my pony sona, UmbraBlaze. Their magic isn't quite that strong, and despite having both magic and wings they don't meet the qualifications of being on par with an Alicorn in the slightest. They're just a hybrid [Kirin/Bat Pony]. #MLP

Little bit of an art dump to start off this account. Looking forward to posting art outside of New Grounds and Discord. 🎶
