Club Penguin has completed 20 years. This franchise is sooo important to me and even though the game is not oficially around, it's refreshing to see the community is still kicking around and alive! Happy 20th Anniversary Club Penguin! #WaddleOn #ClubPenguin (Image from Club Penguin Journey)

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Unfortunate update: Link reached out to BlueSky and got email back now on reason. His appeal is denied. He will remain permanently banned on BlueSky’s side. Here are the screenshots he just sent me as of 8:22 AM EST(my time)

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself! one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

people who built bsky: -trans women (bsky protects jesse singal) -Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism) -SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK) -organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse) -artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Bluesky CEO when she receives minor criticism.

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

They brought the post back lol. Finish the job. Ban Singal. Rescue your platform.

"What can we do to increase usership. Add more functionality? Group chats? Spaces?" "Nah I think we need to actively court the most culturally noxious and unpleasant people to form our userbase"

Why would you remove it and Streisand Effect yourself like this? Baffling decisionmaking here.

Even in a ruthless capitalistic context this is weird behaviour. It really disincentivizes me from using the platform. I already get an equal amount of transphobic harassment on here. On Twitter it's Nazis and here it's liberal cryptonazis

Dawg the only reason your platform exists is because people like me who actually make good stuff were on it. Growth slowed and now you're sweating. This ain't the answer.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

I will probably move on to Tumblr and I guess nowhere after that,

My god, you *really* hate that social media requires actual users, don’t you?

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

maybe bluesky really is the perfect twitter alternative, it even has it's own insane CEO who's constantly posting through it

Ah, esse é a CEO de BlueSky argumentando "se não gosta é só não usar" pra uma comunidade inteira que literalmente parou de usar o Twitter porque não gostava mais. Meio corajoso fala isso pra gente, dependendo de como essa situação acabar eu tô fora daqui

Dear CEO, there's an active subset of Bluesky that routinely harasses trans and queer folk, even doxxing them. This person in particular is a huge problem and even was cited in federal documents harming trans folks. What are you doing to address this? "lol, are u a sad PEPE! Le epic meme, right?!?"

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

Ah, esse é o dono do BlueSky defendendo CEO tentando argumentar sobre pessoas trans deram banidos por falar um "a" enquanto discurso de ódio roda a solta Bem, foi bom enquanto durou

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

Genshin did a little recap for the 5 years anniversary and here's my summary. I will probably stay here for more 5 years, maybe they will buff character, rework models and mechanics until then....

Doing a little cleanup on followers and other things, maintaining a clean timeline is important Anyways, I finished 100% Bugsnax and it has been said before but it's an incredibly good game. Very fun gameplay, engaging story and very well written characters.

morten, but in an ageswapped AU where they're the ancient old norse one. as for possible names - móinn? mǫrðr? perhaps. still very nonbinary, but certainly didn't use the same words. #art 🦇

I mean, good I guess, I don't want to interact with any GenAiBro but it's weird how the purpose of the list is to "block anti GenAI people without being blocked" for "research" purpose Seems something fishy is going on

Toda discussão sobre kink e sexo mesmo em áreas ditae progressistas me fazem lembrar dessa imagem

oh yeah i forgot about dis one #ClubPenguin

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

it's actually really fucked that basically everyone in the US is suddenly being forced to mourn a nazi or lose their job or livelihood, i've never seen anything even close to this for any other shooting or death in the US during my lifetime

wow undertale 10 Year

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

Development files for Yoshi's Island reveal that Yoshi was originally meant to have a human voice. Lines for transforming into his various forms, including unused ones like Tree Yoshi, have been found.
