Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

happy belated large boulder the size of a small boulder day for those who celebrate

Absolutely loving the coffee tariff discourse. Total win-win for the rest of the world, and as a spectator you just love to see a self-own reach its conclusion in under a week.

Elons Nazi salute is turning into that viral white and gold dress, except one answer makes you a fucking prick

The majority of my friends and family still use Messenger. Would love to convince them to ditch it. Is there a comparable* alternative that isn’t run by a confirmed-evil company that y’all’d recommend? Extra points if self-hostable or p2p. *modern, feature-rich, visually appealing, Luddite-friendly

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

what if we could automate confirmation bias, and deploy it at scale

Removing the block function from Twitter takes the conservative vision of free speech full circle from "I have a right to say it" to "no one should criticize what I say" to "you should be forced to hear me say it"

welcome to bluesky! here are some ground rules we all follow: * no joke-y death threats. you have to follow through * you can sell prescription pills to one another but only on "whacked out wednesday" * if you're a lawyer you have to start every post regardless of subject with "as a lawyer,"

Hey everyone I did a cartoon for the Guardian about why Bluesky is my favourite microblogging site. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/07/twitter-is-burning-bluesky-is-smug-where-is-the-best-place-to-do-your-pathetic-doomscrolling

I’m trying to brighten my day/week with new music. Pls send recs for good things to blast that’ll help me get through work.

threads looks like an app that’s onscreen for two seconds while olivia benson scrolls through it to investigate a kidnapping ring

Solidarity for the Strike

Saying, "I'm on Twitter." • very 2010 • might be out $8-$11/mo • possibly a fascist Saying, "I'm on BlueSky." • received a special invitation • has seen boobs/butts • could be a new drug

my biggest tweet of all time was these brassica memes: more proof that the universe finds ways to keep us humble

we cant change the past, but our future is unwritten. life gives us few opportunities to begin anew - but we are all sharing such a moment. right now. we can be whomever we want. we can be more. we can be better what i’m trying to say is, nobody has to do the “it’s gonna be May” joke on this app

for some, a hellthread for others, a hellhome

An invite code for anyone that’ll run my test cases for me

It is really funny that the biggest losers in the world will see a social network where gay and black people are having fun and be like we must crush this. Really illustrates how most people are just trying to vibe and fascists fundamentally hate life and joy

Me, drunk with power, holding a fresh stack of invites I have no idea what to do with:

this place has essentially zero features but since thursday ive spent as much or more time here than twitter solely because it's just as silly but there's less of a chance of encountering the most soul-crushingly disgusting tweet you've ever read in ur life

joking aside can I just say how great it is to publicly see trans joy detached from an honestly unforgivable amount of hate and misinformation like we have trans bodies being celebrated and normalised here. that is meaningful for trans people and goes a long way to seeing the beauty in who we are

you will all be able to run your own servers soon, and set your own moderation policies at the server as well as the community level. but i need it to be calm enough for long enough that we can build out the rest of the system to give people more direct controls.

Wake up. Check notifications. Time to get ready for another day in the BlueSky mines.

Can someone hmu w a quick and dirty pickling brine recipe they’re a fan of?

‘So what’s BlueSky like?’ Yeah, well, tumultuous. Sometimes we chase people with hammers, sometimes we make pizza, sometimes we get sucked into a hellthread of skeets, but atm it’s mostly titties which is pretty chill.

He’s basically admitting it, folks

Some irl bluesky

All hail 🙌 Cum Pope 🙌

a true and blue skeet slinger

how stupid do you have to be to come for a trans person on this app???

Lfg

Nothing is more Bluesky than pausing an hour-long thread based around watching someone make their dinner to go run a bigot out of town.

Tha’s suspicious

Amazing how people still don't get, after all this time, that what most people want is not the Athenian Forum For Rational Debate but rather a place to hang out with their friends

My god, so much this

The US is awake and back to normposting, instead of the much more entertaining hellskeeting, and I am underwhelmed.

I fell out of the tree, someone deal me back in

If I just follow everyone in the hellthread then I can use my main feed instead of the bloody notifications.
