Well here's the thinker

Another fat bear

Yall. Seriously. Send them a message about what you think. Ive done it w others and they DO roll back changes people hate. It just takes a few minutes and you dont need to sound pretty! "This change benefits no one, and will harm bsky's reputation" is typically what i go with. Copy paste if u want!

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

This also goes for trans people and sex workers by the way. (It turns out these groups have a large overlap!)

Furries are to social media what amphibians are to ecosystems -- a bellwether of health. If furries aren't thriving on a platform, that platform is doomed to stagnation and heat death.

Political activist here - this is compliance in advance and the opposite of what you should do. Flood the feedback, replies, and CEO/mods BlueSky pages with outrage about the changes. Post loudly about it. Get LOUDER. Silence is compliance.

no matter what happens, i am not going back to twitter

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Hey btw fictional noncon is fine Doesn't matter if it's disturbing to you, if it's to vent out trauma or just to get people off Censorship is bad

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see. Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.

Got to add a little fullbody of this gal! <3 #furryart #furry

It’s getting harder and harder to make a living as a visual artist. If you want to live in a world where human made art still exists, pay artists, please.

Mind the gap

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I have a minor concern about this character and it's that this name will be very easy to accidentally mispronounce-
