one more: i think people should be able to navigate a website like ao3 instead of demanding an app. it's digital literacy. it's important. it's a learnable skill. and perhaps most glaringly, it's divorced from the algorithm. that's important, too.

Happy Bisexual Visibility Day to all the bisexuals who did not get raptured.

Happy Bisexual Invisibility Day to those who did

Bsky has a new top complaint category on the Play store: Poor user moderation It also dropped almost a whole number overnight

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Update: I now officially have a boyfriend and he checks off every box on my “what I want in a partner” list. The secret was finding someone who is ALSO autistic, queer, has health issues, and wants the safety of a healthy relationship.

Using the “just go make your own” excuse to justify worsening moderation decisions. Bsky always wanted to put the responsibility of moderation onto its users. Not to give them freedom, but so that Bsky didn’t have to do the hard work of appropriately moderating. They still don’t wanna do that work.

Man, I do kinda want to believe in the rapture if it means a lot of aspirationally heavenward bigots will just vanish suddenly

#Pillowfort is NOT dead. Consider PF as another site that you can post to. Think of it but Tumblr but smaller & more casual. Check out my other posts (will link below) for more info.

There are genuinely few matters that a company cares about more than seeing their public facing app store fronts reviews tanking. I'd highly recommend leaving one or editing yours as well.

Am I the only one who thinks about this earthspark scene constantly??

you can’t expect a dog not to bite if you keep kicking it

It really is the most chill & polite social media space I’ve been part of. The current size means you don’t have a massive audience to reach, but the people who are there are engaging. Here’s an invite link for anyone who wants to join & give it a try! www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_u...

All The Things Trans People Said Were Gonna Happen Ended Up Happening

I do understand why ppl worry about the new guidelines but … ❌ Spamming UNTAGGED nsfw will NOT change anything nor does it prove a point – it does the opposite: It proves the point that ppl arent diligent in tagging NSFW so u can't trust them with labeling things by themselves to keep minors safe

[hadesnsfw] Ares mean with the teasing, pouting right back at Achilles, asking whats wrong when he knows exactly what is Trying to get a reaction, trying to get Achilles to admit what he really wants Ares knowing he won’t

3 months of proof that directly screaming at the largest megacorps IN THE WORLD can affect change, and these people are acting like doing literally nothing is somehow a better idea against a company that probably has a moderation feedback team of 10 people.

Pillowfort is very good! They've been set up with a "high risk" payment processor for years already and are entirely user-funded, so they're fine to weather this bullshit storm. That said, I'm sticking around to bully the admin team here to see if we can't avoid having to migratea again at all.

Look, I get it, Pillowfort is niche, but if you actually want a place where you can post it all, you've got to get over there and keep it alive. With the way other options are dropping like flies, it's wise to make sure that someone who respects free speech stays in the game.

#Pillowfort allow anything in art that's not sexualising minors. Pillowfort is 100% user funded. They know we can destroy them by pulling our money out if they try anything. Pillowfort is older than Bluesky & have stayed consistent on their stance on encouraging NSFW. +

Here’s a post on why you should join Pillowfort. To summarize: they have an anti-ai stance, are pro-nsfw (only banning loli while pretty much everything else is fair game), & have effective blocking, tagging, & filtering tools. There’s no recommended algorithm so you only see the things you want.

With Bluesky deciding to throw all the feedback they got into the trash and instead become a more hostile place for artists, here’s a reminder that I’m on Pillowfort. Pillowfort might not be the prettiest site, but the list of content they don’t allow is VERY SHORT & they fight to keep it that way.

Why in the world would you build a platform around self-moderation and control of your own feed, ask people for input, and then moderate the hell out of it and listen to nobody?

We’re doing a mini-zine series about Cybertronians as digital pets or what digital pets they might have. If you wanna participate in this zine but don’t want to join our Discord, DM us. All artistic experience levels welcome! Here’s a drawing illustrating the basic format of the zine for reference

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

Love how this came together with everyone’s creative and sometimes silly ideas. Definitely check it out!

Im never gonna finish these, down into the bin #megarod #maccadam

Part 3 of the AU - How they Met - There will be more characters ✨🌟🔥 #transformers #maccadam #tfhotrod #tfdeadlock #tfdrift #tfratchet #dratchet #tfau #tfidw #tfcbv #tfrodimus #rodimus

Listen carefully to what Jimmy Kimmel said...

Support the artists you like now because tomorrow you might not be able to find them.

I am here with more nonsense

Some hearts I guess🫀

A whole lot of people are coming for @angryblacklady.bsky.social today for saying "do not put your name on a list of people attending a protest, what the fuck" with responses like "you're just discouraging people!" and "but they already know who you are!" and "DON'T LET THE TERRORISTS WIN" etc

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

To any of my fans in Michigan, this means I can no longer sell comics in your state. Not just smut, any comic with queer characters because that’s exactly how they’ll define porn. Call your representative and tell them to stop this atrocious bill!

#SaveSpeech Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided. folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal! find your MEP below and yell at them! www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home
