No i don't think i will have the AI handle my finances Paypal i am not a fucking moron

if you needed another reason to stop using spotify:

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Just because someone's a fascist, doesn't mean they are physically sick. Being physically sick doesn't make someone a bad person. I once got COVID, and never once did I think of kissing white supremacy's ass while I had it. Stop aligning morals and physical well-being together, they do not relate.

I feel like way too many people heard and registered the warnings but were more offended by how the warnings made them feel than the actual fucking things at stake

Just fyi, if you argue that it's okay to execute women for having an abortion you need to fuck off so far not even Voyager will find you.

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

Everyone should go buy trans books before I get disappeared for bringing up the Trust and Safety gooning incident.

Oh they’re just continuing to scramble to find a justification. Lying about Link’s alt text is a particular kind of evil I’ll say If this is the alleged post, you can check the alt text for yourself pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

I thought the one where he was a Black Panther was in poor taste

Are you fucking kidding me ?

Amanda shared already but here’s the post they suspended me for. It’s ~ two weeks old. And let’s be very clear: we don’t actually know why this happened. Was it a reporting brigade? A weird delayed automated mod AI action? The timing is definitely suspicious I can’t lie.

Is Jay really going to do an Elon? Does she not understand why bsky even has a social media community?

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

adopting the hypnotoad as a mascot sure was a choice here

The thing about 'viewpoint diversity' is that taken to its logical extreme it means you must go out of your way to include liars and scoundrels because they too have viewpoints

Reminder that Bluesky, their reputation and positioning notwithstanding, is centralized corporate media funded by the same people who gave us the other nightmare platforms. Once again, the only refuge left is in the truly decentralized, unowned Fediverse services: Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

Thread. When Enron collapsed, taking Arthur Andersen (then one of The Big Five accounting firms) with them the two big issues were: 1. Enron’s corporate culture which was dependent on the value of their shares always going up. And 2. Their Mark-to-Market bookkeeping system

I tend not to even try debating anti-trans “liberals” who defend people like Jesse Singal. They know they’re lying. I know they’re lying. What’s the debate? I tend to save attempts at debate for people I think might have an ounce of good faith in them somewhere.

So anyway are all tech bro CEOs the same? Jay is starting to sound more and more like Musk on X every day. Hell even the main dev for Mastodon seems to get further and further away from the idea of the platform with every "good idea" he has.

while modern sloths are all arboreal animals, the giant ground sloths were – as the name suggests – adapted to a primarily terrestrial lifestyle. one taxon – thalassocnus – even took to a semi-marine way of life, the only xenarthran to do so (art by gabriel ugueto)

my friend @gulop1th3cuz.bsky.social has asked me to write a thread about his favourite extinct animal, the giant ground sloth megatherium, for his birthday! happy birthday gulo 🥳 (art by @haiderjaffri.bsky.social)

Huh. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"... that's six words. As far as I can tell?

An easy flowchart to tell if AI is right for your project.

ceo might be the only profession ai could arguably replace and be less wasteful and harmful to the planet, people and platforms they preside over

Whyyyyyy would any reasonable person trust the ideological assertions of people who believe in literal demons like come on now what are we even doing here people.

You can now be banned for "Being disruptive to other users" yeah thats definitely going to be enforced consistently

Correcting a few misconceptions like that I make video propaganda for children (I don't! I check a box saying so!) and working through one of the greatest mysteries of our time: how to get inside a government building when the door is locked when you're the government who wants to go in there

Remember, Blsky is a libertarian crypto financed project. Expecting a moderation team that actually care about minorities and discrimination is very... optimistic. This includes Jay of course.

I also don't understand how Link can get banned for being disruptive but Jesse Singal can't? didn't Singal join and immediately start directing cross-platform harassment towards numeroys trans users? it all looks like incredibly uneven moderation

It's extremely suspicious that the post that got him the ban was made on 10/3, but the ban didn't get implemented until after he criticized the CEO.

YOU CAN'T WISH HARM ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CAN'T THREATEN VIOLENCE ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CAN'T INCITE SELF HARM ON A MAN WHO IS DEAD 💀 YOU CANNOT DISRESPECT A MAN WHO IS 💀 DEAD 💀 IT IS NOT NOW AND HAS NEVER BEEN ILLEGAL TO POST A REACT MEME OF A MAN 💀 WHO IS 💀 DEAD

Bsky: We don't need to sitewide ban fascist bad actors who work tirelessly to vilify & eliminate from the face of the Earth most of our core posters 😜 our content moderation tools are robust and many 😜 moderate yourselves 😜 put that in your waffle maker Also bsky: We have permanently banned Link 😇

When you see a post and immediately think it has to do with a subset of "Real Gamers (tm)" but instead apparently is a comment on the "necessity and virtue" of making artists suffer.

Difficult isn’t the same as challenging or fun. And just if because things worth doing aren’t often easy, the world would be a better place if it would, so I’d personally re-think that mindset.

suffering isn't virtuous

Yo someone call Claire's kids and tell 'em to come get their mom off Facebook

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a woman on Saturday morning in Brighton Park marking the second shooting since President Donald Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month, the @chicago.suntimes.com reports

Are you surprised to learn that "outrage" doesn't come from "out" + "rage"? @jesszafarris.bsky.social explains what the heck is going on! If you find this as fascinating as I do, listen to the whole interview and get her new book, "Useless Etymology." pod.link/173429229 uselessetymology.com

i’ve been sayin the big tech cos (with feature-filled “campuses”) have a cult problem since c. 2010

If it was transphobic to be against generative AI then congress would have already passed vastly overreaching anti-ai laws
