actually why bother giving them an ultimatum when i can just up and leave? if it sucks, hit the bricks! maybe i'll come back if i get word that jesse singal got banned for real, but since he's apparently friends with someone on the mod team, i find it unlikely that it'll happen anytime soon.

checking out of this place until new year's 2025. i recognize this place might be entering its first stage of enshittification and will not make the same mistake i did on twitter. hopefully jesse will be banned by then, and if not, then that proves this was all for nothing.

Seeing all the talk about Singal's influence + BlueSky's nonaction is a very good reminder about how BS's admins did their damndest to try & sweep antiblackness under the rug in the early days AND went out of their way to make themselves unavailable The tactic against trans ppl is 100% the same.

Jesse Singal is a liar and a fraud of a journalist and I will prove it as an unassailable fact in this thread. I'll also talk about why I don't think BlueSky moderation will do anything about him afterwards so stick around or maybe just skip to that if you don't want to read the boring details.

Taps the sign- "you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

heck of a one-two punch here

-shows up wearing ceasefire pin -talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs -denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms -takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives -doesnt name drop any celebs forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

idea that got brainstormed while watching a TGA reaction stream: the show is hosted in the same entertainment complex as the los angeles lakers' home arena. move the show there, and host an low-stakes esports tournament at the peacock theatre (thanks @marshmallowwors.bsky.social)

another day, another artist chastised for wanting to experiment god forbid folks wanna have fun and creative freedom…

me when phase plant :)

The lack of digital privacy safeguards has been used to intimidate, harass + destroy the lives of abuse victims. The DEFIANCE Act is a step in the right direction + we need to push lawmakers to get it passed- call now! https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/pass-the-defiance-act/

something that @safety.bsky.app needs to realize is that when it comes to social media, marginalized people are both targets, and a vast majority of your userbase, because ALL women are marginalized, and when you add in men of color, and queer men, and disabled men, etc.? it's not a contest

NEW SCROOPS AND SCALES EPISODE PLEASE GO READ THE BACKGROUNDS TAKE SO LONG www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/sc...

i feel like youtube knows i'm trying to filter out video essays from my recommendations and are recommending me more just to spite me could certainly use a "don't recommend topic" feature rn…

for transparency: as of right now we're sitting at 1.7k in the bank and another 600 in stripe. stripe is delaying my payout so i'm not able to use that right now. in total, that puts us at 2.3k. moving in will cost AT LEAST that. meds, medical bills, etc will pile up fast. pls pls pls keep sharing.

the shift on social media switching from "look at / lets talk about this cool shit i made" to "audience building" has been a disaster for literally everyone involved

def sneppard

It needs to be said over and over because it’s really important: if you read an indie novel/comic, play an indie game/visual novel, etc. and you enjoyed it, one of the best ways to help the creator is to tell people about it! Leave reviews, tell your friends. Every little bit helps us so much!

here's a thing i made in 2021, back when i had ideas and the energy to execute them

Musk-approved surface edits don’t make KOSA less of a threat. Now, its authors are trying to shove this lipstick-on-a-pig version through with end of year budget legislation. We need phones ringing off the hook to ensure House leaders block this sneak attack. 📣TAKE ACTION: fftf.link/KOSAsneakattack

Trans journalists, particularly ones writing about trans issues, have been pushed out of the industry. It's why I started Assigned Media, and why I'm determined to grow and increase our capabilities. A 🧵 about the "quiet purge" of trans voices, what to expect, and what I intend to do about it.

i like to think they call guns "choppers" because of that one sound effect that goes CHOPCHOPCHOPCHOPCHOPCHOP youtu.be/CZj_Io9jr70

to all trans folx: the torrential onslaught of transphobic hate that we are facing is a storm of reaction. it will eventually pass over us. you have to survive the maelstrom. if you do nothing else for the next four years, you have to live.

i haven't kept up with my little pony in a long time, but i still have a soft spot for it even as i've leaned fully towards the furry side of things.

idea: "spot the fed"-type contest where concertgoers try to spot undercover A&Rs for record labels then kick them out fuck the industry

With regards to content moderation, by protecting the most vulnerable you protect everyone, and if you carve out exceptions for one form bigotry or prejudice, that's a weakness that will be immediately exploited by malicious actors. Because the truth is, there are no single issue bigots.

two things i wish i could do: - shapeshift IRL - remove all video essays, commentary videos, and other clickbaity shit from my youtube recommendations

i mean i wouldn't pay anyway cuz i wanna escape social media, but now i have more of a reason not to pay because they allow rightoid transphobes like jesse singal here. @aaron.bsky.team do better. be better.

Our letter with 350+ musicians demanding that music labels drop their lawsuit to destroy @internetarchive.bsky.social is STILL ACCEPTING SIGNATURES. Musicians can still speak out. In fact, we're hoping for a groundswell: www.savethearchive.com Fans and archive-lovers can sign in solidarity, too!
